The Morton Downeys are known as one of radio's happiest couples. His career is her life and together their biggest interest is their little baby. They plan to have a dozen children in their lifetime together. They've kept Junior Downey out of the public eye but they've told oil to their friend (and yours), Mike Porter for your RADIO MIRROR. The best known of all the news commentators, Edwin C. Hill, gives you the human side of the news. And now we give you the HUMAN SIDE OF EDWIN C. HILL, what he does away from the mike, all about his past and his plans in a thrilling story by Rose Heylbut. They call David Ross, the Puck of radio announcers and there's a quality about this prize-winning announcer which justifies the appellation, a quality which is explained in an interesting pen-portrait of Mr. Ross appearing in the October RADIO MIRROR. Mrs. Jack Denny, wife of the famous orchestra leader says her husband is a perfect host and she explains just how and why he fills the bill in her own story which will appear in the next issue. Toby Molone, new recruit to the air comedianscontinues hisadventures and romances with the professor and redheaded Margy through Peter Dixon's thrilling serial, "The Beautiful Stooge."
