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

Bissell's full spring controlled brush. Maggi McNellis Dr. Kildare, played by Lew Ayres Fran Allison Are women smarter than men? That's a question that's been debated down through the ages and no one has ever dared to proclaim a decision for either side. But there is one person who's well-qualified enough to at least venture an opinion— she's Maggi McNellis, moderator of Leave It To The Girls. Maggi's long experience in the battle of the sexes leaves her with some very definite ideas on the subject. Look for them in the April Radio Television Mirror, on sale Friday, March 9. "Calling Dr. Kildare" is a cry that has echoed down many a radio and movie corridor — in the April Radio Television Mirror, you'll find a picture story on the popular Dr. Kildare show. It's one of the many lively features in an issue that's crammed from cover to cover with the best and most complete information on the world of radio and TV. Other personalities whom you'll read about in the April issue: Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Colman, Walter O'Keefe, Jackie Gleason, Bert Parks. Fran Allison, that versatile friend of Kukla's and Ollie's, will again pick up the pen for the pages of Radio Television Mirror. The last story Fran wrote for you was about her good friend, Janette Davis. This time it will be about Burr Tillstrom, Kukla's and Ollie's creator and alter ego. Fran will tell you all about Burr's home, his likes and dislikes — in short, what kind of a person he is when he's not projecting the personalities of the enchanting inhabitants of the Tillstrom wonderland. Not to be overlooked in the line-up for the April Radio Television Mirror are your new and old favorites among the regular features: Daytime Diary, the daytime serial fashion page (next month will feature Nora Drake), the homemaker page (next month's guest is the Pepper Young Family), the bonus novel featuring an incident from We Love and Learn, Who s Who In TV and Abe Burrow's Poem of the Month on the Fun of the Month page.
