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

Said I to myself, "I will consult Bartlett's Familiar Quotations and choose a suitable quote." I found out plenty about love just from the index. You'll be ^ happy to know that love is: Bel^H a cheat, strong as death, re — paid with scorn, a proud and gentle thing, like the measles, the ambassador of loss, and that love must have wings and comes too late! Just bear all those things in mind, young fellow, before you pop the question. Ml CURIOUS CUSTOMS CORNER— Valentine's Day Division — Seems that in medieval France and England, young people used to gather on the Eve of St. Valentine for some wholesale date-making. Each girl's name was written on a separate slip of paper and tossed into a pot. One by one, the swains filed by, and each drew a name by chance. The girl whose name was on the paper he drew became that young man's sweetheart for the year. A slipshod method, I calls it — seems to me the \ present system of free en^ terprise is sounder.
