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

Walter Winchell was an April baby, having made his appearance on the seventh day. Page Gilman of One Man's Family entered the world on the 18th, and so did Betty Winkler, some years later. We find that Joan Blaine celebrates her birthday on the 28th of April and Frank Parker on the 29th. The above picture shows the People's committee who plan We, The People air show.
