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

AND MORTIMER HIMSELF— Bob Bailey, who plays the title role in CBS' weekly Mortimer Gooch sketches, was born in Toledo, Ohio, on Friday the thirteenth of the year before the war. He started a theatrical career as a handbill distributor (salary, $5 a week) and progressed to a wild west show in the recent Chicago Fair. SCRAPBOOK RADIO HANDYMAN CLAIRE— Malcolm Claire plays many roles around Chicago radio studios, best-loved of which was his Spare Ribs on the Sinclair Minstrels. He also writes his own Uncle Mai program for the kids. He is thirty-eight years old and still retains his pleasant Alabama drawl after years* in vaudeville and radio. FORD SYMPHONY'S CAMERON— A former reporter and for eighteen years a business associate of Henry Ford, W. J. Cameron brings you interesting and informative talks during intermission time on the Ford Symphony hour, Sunday nights on CBS. He's modest, does not like publicity, and writes all his talks himself. PATTY IN TODAY'S CHILDREN— Frances Carlon has been lucky enough to find three outlets for her talents — the stage, movies, and radio. Her screen work included "White Parade" and "Music in the Air." Only a year in radio, she has already gained the part of Patty Moran in Today's Children, heard daily over NBC. 39
