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

But then something happened. Something had to happen. And so, when the theme song was sung, there he was again, waiting at the tailor made moment. Sometimes, perhaps, he waited a little breathlessly, even as Lanny Ross that day he started from his upper New York state farm, and ran into a fire outside of Harmon, about thirty miles from his broadcast. Yet Lanny wasn't worrying, when he started, for he had plenty of time and his thoughts were concerned with BY HAZEL CANNING +„vi driver hurry-^^ wav to make a taxi an ^ One v/ay to , oU+ — is to u y as Lanny Ross faujLannvv/asnt late. taxi outright. nothing more important than his golf score.
