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

■ For the past decade, listeners to the popular NBC radio show have pictured a Quiz Kid as a bespectacled little monster isolated from the mischief and fun of a normal childhood. In vain, Chief Quizzer Joe Kelly insisted this was untrue — that such a sad creature would be as big a flop on the program as he was in real life — but the public refused to believe him. Today that impression is due to change. With the show entirely converted to TV, it becomes obvious to viewers that the typical Quiz Kid has charm as well as intelligence. He's a child who gets along well with others, who applies his learning to everyday situations, and who has as much fun, if not more, than the average child. The Quiz Kids are on NBC-TV, Friday at 8 P.M., EDT for Alka Seltzer. Twelve-year-old Naomi Cooks plays a perfect Juliet to John Carradine's Romeo — and without any rehearsal! s^mf^HT Melvin Miles, seven, may be scared to death of Bob Cavenaugh's educated mare, but he'd never show it. In fact, he's disappointed because the horse couldn't replace the tie. w I to takes a lot more than a wphone duet with Tex leke to phase six-year Frankie Vander Ploeg. There was a grin on every Quiz Kid face as they were invited to board one of the original merry Oldsmobiles. iel Kupperman proves can compute a math probanywhere — even while ting a driving test.
