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.

By GLADYS HALL THERE IS much food for thought in the fact that so many of the great comics of our day — Jimmy Durante, Groucho Marx, Danny Kaye, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, George Gobel, Red Skelton, Sid Caesar, Milton Berle, Red Buttons, and "The Greatest" himself — were all poor boys, most of them very poor. It's almost as though only those who, as youngsters, were obliged to make their own laughs — if they were to have any — make their millions as laughmakers later on. Since poverty seems to be the prep school from which the real Clown Princes graduate, then poverty, you might (Continued on page 75) The Honeymooners, Starring Jackie Gleason, CBS-TV. Sat.. 8:30 P.M.
