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

Captain James McGinley of the Pittsburgh police took his ease in his office. Nothing was happening except routine stuff — two stolen cars, a street accident — nothing to get excited about.

This Phantom's getting in our hair." "Flash! Payroll hold-up on trolley car at Thornton Street. Bandits shot guard, escaped with $25,000. Looks like the Phantom's work. No clues. That is all."
