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

Jack Baker, dark-eyed tenor of the show, cooks for relaxation. Presenting the stars of radio's early morning variety show that starts your day off with a laugh and a song six times a week, Monday through Friday, over the Blue Network THIS is the program that wakes up America, and the man responsible for its popularity these past nine years is Don McNeill, whose full page portrait you see at the right. The Breakfast Club, sponsored by Cream of Wheat and Swift's Premium Bacon and Hams, is run like a railroad time table — subject to change without notice. With no script to hold him, Don cuts into the music with whatever pops into his mind. He dictates "horse race" music to people who have to rush to catch trains. He philosophizes a bit and reads a poem each day. His cheeriness is simply amazing. But there's a reason for this — Don's home life is a happy one, but oh, how he hates to get up in the morning! It takes two alarm clocks, Mrs. McNeill, his two sons, Tommy and Donny, and "Radio Contract," their dog, to get him out of bed. Nancy Martin, singer, hails from New Martinsville, West Virginia, and loves pretty shoes. Marion Mann, singer, was Bom in Columbus, Ohio, has olive skin, brown hair, gray eyes, and is happily married. 44
