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

LOU COSTELLO (right) usually gets the laughs but this time Bud Abbott is managing to get that apple — a close-up of the comedy team that has become a national craze. Recent graduates from burlesque, Abbott and Costello got their first big break when they were chosen to appear on the Kate Smith Hour — now they're famous in radio, movies, and every army, navy and marine camp in the country. Bud was born William Abbott, in Asbury Park, New Jersey. His background was a Ringling Brothers circus tent. Lou started life as Louis Francis Cristello in Paterson, N. J. Both married chorus girls of shows in which they were appearing; both have beautiful Hollywood homes complete with swimming pools. On the air, you hear them on Thursday nights at 7:30, EWT, over the NBC network. march, 1943 41
