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

Acr<x_ the Academy parade ground at New London, comes the band: behind it Coast Guard cadets pass in review. COAST GUARD ON PARADE At the clarinet: Musical director Bud Jenks. The historic Coast Guard Academy at New London, Conn., is not quite the spot you'd expect to find as the originating point for a network musical show. But the alert, neatly-uniformed Academy guards show no sign of surprise every Saturday when a team of directors, engineers and publicity men from New York invade the scene. For four years now, they've been coming in to help broadcast Coast Guard Cadets On Parade, heard on NBC Saturdays at 1:30 P. M. EST. The Coast Guard Academy band, led by Warrant Officer George H. Jenks, presents on the show each week a selection of stirring band music by composers from Rachmaninov to Cole Porter, plus interesting sidelights of life at the Academy and adventures of the Coast Guard at sea. Emee of the C.G. show is ex-ensign Bob Tyrol. Coast Guard Cadets On Parade is heard Saturdays at 1 :30 P.M. EST on the National Broadcasting Company. 70 "Semper Paratus" opens each performance — of course! — but the band doesn't limit itself to purely martial music.
