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

I suppose the interview I lad in the little shack used as an employment office helped. The man interviewing me didn't belong in that battered old swivel chair! He was the most vital, the most compelling human being I'd ever met. I did not know then that this was Michael Wayne, boss of the whole works, and as unique as his business! Thirty-five, he was young enough to be considered the wonder of the industry and old enough to sweep me off my feet. He looked me over carefully after as carefully reading my application. "Live MAY, 1943 in Rosedale, do you? Nice comfortable place — I pass by there myself every day. My home is a little farther out. Rosedale, heh? Sure you're not after this job for a lark? Sure after we train you you won't decide to marry some nice boy in the army and follow your husband to camp?" The words were almost harsh, and yet his voice belied them. It was a warm voice, warm and personal. His eyes went with the voice. A deep gray under finely etched dark eyebrows. All at once I felt I'd do anything to stay near him, to have him look at me and talk to me once in a while. I simply had to land this job! "If you mean will my salary be important to me," I said hotly, "the family can use it. As for the army, I've friends in it, of course, but I'm not marrying any of them. I'm not even engaged!" He smiled then. "The army's loss will be the defense industry's gain, then. All right, Miss Bennett, you're hired. And forgive me for cross-examining you the way I did, but you see, we have to be careful about whom we take on. Attractive girls especially." Having the thin, fair skin that goes 33
