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

Sponsors usually heard moaning the hot weather blues are singing another song these days and are as keen to exploit their wares on the wireless as in mid-season. Result is the air castles are ahum with activity and everybody is buzzing about like flies around a molasses barrel. Even the sustaining artists are getting their share of sugar for they escaped the customary seasonal clip in salaries. Clackety-clack-clack goes the teletype machine. We must see what the grapevine gossip is. WHAT ENTERTAINER, WHOSE NAME IS A HOUSEHOLD WORD, HAS GONE IN FOR NUDISM IN A BIG WAY?, it asks in caps. Well, Mercury could guess and wouldn't guess 8 Eddie Cantor either, even though he did appear before a studio audience last winter in nothing but a loin cloth. The machinery whirls again. A CERTAIN SONGBIRD IS SPORTING A 110,000. BRACELET, THE GIFT OF AN ADORING ADVERTISING AGENCY EXECUTIVE, it says. Humph, the teletype is falling behind with the news. Mercury knows for a fact he also gave her an imported car with an imported French Chauffeur to run it. Of course, he may only have placed them at her disposal but, any way, she's using them and that amounts to the same thing. There goes the teletype again.
