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

It's w-a-a-y up for Hildegarde, who thinks her mother is the best swing pusher in the world. Hildegarde wants to be an acrobat someday. Horace seems to be getting the best of this match but Jack knows how to return all his father has taught him about boxing. Jerry refs. The Heidt pitch and putt course is a spot rarely unoccupied. Jerry shows Mrs. Heidt how to swing a club — he learned from Horace. The most popular recreational spot is the pool. The Double HH Ranch also boasts a rehearsal hall and thirty-two bungalows which are used as living quarters. All this and a salary, too, for the Heidt troupe! Rehearsals are kept up during the hiatus from the road and the youngsters have a chance to learn and perfect their techniques and talents. Horace brings in music teachers and choreographers for the eager-to-learn kids. The Pepperettes — Joan Cherry, Evelyn Weatherford and Jackie Joslin — rehearse. "I Didn't Know The Gun was Loaded" won them a spot. Gwen Neser, Loralyn Green, Colleen Buckley and Lila Jackson share one bathroom but manage to stagger shampoos and stockings. Who can resist a pillow fight? Heidt keeps eight scouts on the road seeking out talented youngsters looking for the big break. The Horace Heidt show is heard Sun., 9:30 P.M. EST, CBS; televised Mon., 9 P.M. EST, CBS-TV. Both shows are sponsored by Philip Morris Cigarettes. Horace Heidt's twice-o-year vacation prescription for his lucky Youth Opportunity winners
