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

VALLEE'S NEWEST FIND— Edgar Bergen did a thing no one thought possible in radio by scoring a sensational hit with a ventriloquist act on Rudy Val lee's Variety hour. Bergen graduated from Northwestern University and acquired his dummy, Charlie McCarthy, sixteen years ago. He may soon nave his own broadcasts. HOPEFULS' FRIEND— Haven MacQuarrie is the guiding genius behind the NBC program, Do You Want to Be an Actor, which took Good Will Court's place. MacQuarrie has been an actor, writer, dramatic critic, auto salesman, and for the past sixteen years a vaudeville star with the same act that he has on the radio. FUNNY HENNY— Kate Smith is responsible for another outstanding new comedian on the air. She discovered Henry (Henny) Youngman in the Yacht Club in New York and hustled him to her Thursday evening program. He drew overnight attention. Henry began his career of making people laugh heartily when he was only nine. FAVORITE PIONEER— In the days of silent pictures, Fred Niblo was a famous producer and pioneer. Now he's pioneering in a new field by putting on the air every Wednesday night over NBC Professional Parade, a full hour program for the sole benefit of singers and actors who can't find employment. 41 I
