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

JLU sictioiv Musician, teacher, engineer, architect; — he's all of these. But those who work for him will tell you that first and foremost he's a wonderful guy! 1 1 lip DOM-, FRED WARING By DAISY BERNIER The first time I met Fred Waring was at an audition — my own. I was part of a trio dancing and doing a little singing in a Chicago supper club. Fred and the Pennsylvanians were playing the Palace. Some of his boys dropped in at our club and told him about us, and he had us come over to the theatre. We were terribly nervous because this was something we had hoped for and dreamed about for a long, long time. Fred greeted us, and then did the sort of tactful, thoughtful thing I have since found is commonplace with him. He invited us into his dressing room, turned the conversation away from show business, and began to tell us about the Waring Blendor he had perfected and marketed. I remember how he threw some peaches into the Blendor and let us taste the smooth, dreamy concoction. Then he led us to talk about ourselves and, finally, to show him what we could do. Of course, I practically passed out after the audition, but by that time getting scared again didn't matter. Fred had said he wanted us as soon as he went back to radio. In the meantime, I was offered a part in a Broadway musical. So the boys took another girl into the act temporarily. When Fred called them for the Chesterfield Hour I was still in the show, but he said I could come later. That was ten years ago, and I have been with Fred and the Pennsylvanians ever since. The show's debut on television last year was a first for most of us. (Continued on page 74) The Fred Waring Show is televised Sundays, 9 P.M. EST, CBS-TV. Sponsored by General Electric. 43
