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

Vital statistics: 3,000 seating capacity; 4,200 square feet of stage space including an elaborate elevator with turntable arrangements. Formerly used for ice shows, the Center Theatre was leased by NBC in August, 1950. On his first show, Ed presented his Monsieur Choppy skit. M. Choppy is an artist whose unusual specialty is painting faces on the backs of showgirls— audiences and Ed found it quite delightful. BC-TV. Sponsored by Motorola, Norge and Pet Milk. The enchanted fan is Ed's stepson, five-and-a-half year old John J. White, who came backstage with his governess, Miss Elsa Golis.
