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

Four Star Revue Kv^HIb pp. -v V ~^^H Rfei> jm W i S^fcT WEQfgdf 7!W A SL^B ffiJIIk Producer-director of the Wynn show is Joe Santley; Grey Lockwood is the TV director. "My kind of humor is like an olive," says Ed. "You've got to cultivate a taste for it." TV is perfect for his bizarre haberdashery. The asset of a pretty guest star is one an experienced showman like Ed never ignores. Blonde Ilona Massey was a recent one. For rehearsal, Ed wore a remarkably conventional suit — or was that supposed to be a gag? 1 Ed's TV shows on the West Coast won him a Peabody Award, radio's equivalent to the Hollywood Oscar. But the lure of "live" TV brought him back to New York. "It's the heart of network television, so here I am!" Deadpan silent movie comic Buster Keaton's pantomime sketches with Ed have become the talk of TV. Rehearsals for the once-a-month Wynn show are apt to be a combination of happy turmoil and worried calm. The Revue girls await their rehearsal cues. Some wear bandanas to preserve their curls, all take it easy to preserve their energies. Rehearsals and performances for the Four Star Revues are at the Center Theatre. 58 Piquant French chanteuse Edith Piaf sang while seated on Ed's pianocycle. He pedals his weird invention — a piano mounted on a tricycle — about the stage, explaining, "It makes it a lot easier to carry a tune." The Four Star Revue is televised Wed., 8 P.M. EST,
