Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

LOUIS: Lynne Loray, young St. Louis actress and KMOX staff member for three years, is the new directress of that station's Let's Compare Notes, daily woman's program.

Josephine Halpin, directress of the Let's Compare Notes program for the past two years, has inaugurated a new fifteen-minute program, One Woman's Opinion, heard daily over KMOX. * * * Hollywood: KNX announcer Art Gilmore is proving his 10 ,' voice wasn't meant only for mere words. He is now dividing his mike chores with a four o'clock Saturday afternoon singing program of his own, announced as Soliloquy in Song. * * * Kansas City, Kan.: What used to be station WLBF at 1420 kilocycles is now KCKN at 1310, by permission of the Federal Communications Commission. * * * Des Moines, la.: Not only did Gene and Glenn spend last summer sponsored on The Cornbelt Network, as we wrote some time ago in answer to their fans who showered us with letters following the article, "Yesterdays Stars — Where Are They?," but they are in their second year on the staff of WHO in Des Moines. {Continued on page 58) I
