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

GULF'S GOOD MAESTRO— Oscar Bradley's music is remembered most for its association with Will Rogers. Oscar is now the orchestra leader for the Phil Baker program on OBS. His career has led him from conductor of the St. Louis Municipal Opera to screen maestro of Shirley Temple pictures. His parents were British. SERENADER — Freddy Martin is coming back stronger than ever this winter. Heard on NBC Sundays as the Penthouse Serenade conductor, his band broadcasts on many sustaining spots during the week. Freddy is an orphan who learned to play the drums successfully enough to bring him fame, fortune, and love. GOLD MEDAL DIRECTOR— Eric Sagerquist was born in Sweden some thirty years ago and got his first job playing fiddle in a nickelodeon, when he was twelve. He made his radio debut in Frank Westphal's orchestra and now he has become musical director for the whole Gold Medal Hour heard weekday mornings on CBS. MIDNIGHT MYSTIC— One of NBC's best bets for late listeners is a man his audiences -have never even seen. Shandor, whose music weaves a spell around thousands of devoted fans, was born in Hungary forty years ago. Ever since he was old enough to distinguish notes, he has had a passion for gypsy music. He always plays it. 40
