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.

At the corner of Fifty-second Street and Sixth Avenue he gazed east toward Fifth and tried to decide just what little restaurant would have the best onion soup and sufficient additional food to make it worth while. Toby wasn't a conspicuous figure in the Broadway area. His clothes fitted too well and were just a little too vivid but that wasn't unusual on Broadway. He did have a nice grin on a somewhat comic face. He thought rather well of himself and of his appearance but that was quite traditional. Fifty-second Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, if you know your Manhattan, is a street of many little restaurants. Before a certain national event known as Repeal, there were more speakeasies on this particular block than any other in mid-Manhattan.
