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 "My TV show is like making an hour-long movie," says Carson. Comedienne Betty Kean is usually Jack's foil. "¥ uckily, I've always been a horse for work," li Jack Carson will tell you when you mention his TV show. "This is much more concentrated than movies. In Hollywood I worked eight hours on a set, then went home and relaxed. In TV I go right on rehearsing and working, and I never forget the show until it's over and I have to start the next one. Just the same, television is wonderful." The Carson show started with revue type material, but Jack leans to situation comedy' now. Here he's rehearsing with a dancer and trio on one of the early programs. Four Star Revue ^^^ "Like producin' a mus'cal com'dy every four weeks," says Jimmy. . Eddie Jackson is on hand to sing and dance. Jimmy will tell you his biggest thrill came the day after he did his first TV show. He left for Chicago immediately and when his train got in the redcaps swarmed around him to tell him they thought the show was great. "Sure," he says. "They're my friends." The mail he's getting now stuns him. "And they don't ask for nuttin'," he marvels. "Not even a pitcher. Jus' say they like the show and I should stay on. It's terrific!" Young performers have a wonderful time on a Durante show. The line-up here is Donald O'Connor, who sings and steps smartly, his wife Gwen, and Joyce Holden. The Four Star Revue is televised Wed., 8 P.M. EST, 60
