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

Murrow's news series. Born in New England in I9I I, he did radio and stage work in his pre-TV days. Today, he lives in New Canaan (Conn.) with his wife and two children. Using a baby doll, Marjorie (Marylee Robb) demonstrates the proper way to hold an infant as "Unk" Gildersleeve (Willard Waterman) observes. THE Great Gildersleeve learns that his niece, Marjorie, and her husband, Bronco Thompson, are expecting a baby. Happy at first, he is dismayed as all his friends start calling him "Grandfather Gildersleeve." He claims he is too young to be a grandfather until his housekeeper, Birdie, makes him realize that "when a man has fine children and grandchildren around him, that's life's big reward." Gildy's nephew, Leroy, then becomes a problem when he learns that his sister is going to have a baby. His shriek, "I'm too young to be an uncle," leads to the finale, a scene critics hailed as tops for the year and one of radio's all-time best. It follows: SOUND: CREAK OF PORCH SWING LEROY: (QUIETLY) Unk? Is that you in the swing? GILDY: What? Oh, yes — come on out, my boy. LEROY: Whatcha doin'? GILDY: Just sitting here . . looking at the stars. LEROY: Move over. SOUND: SWING CREAKS LEROY: (PAUSE) Unk, why don't you and me go to Canada? GILDY: Canada? What for? LEROY: Aw, who wants to stay around here — with a darn old baby. GILDY: Now, my boy, don't feel that way. It'll be a Jong time yet. Besides, this is going to make everybody happy. LEROY: It isn't going to make me happy. GILDY: Oh, you wait and see. LEROY: I like it the way it is right now— with just us. When the darn old baby comes it'll be all different. It'll be baby, baby, baby! Holy cow, all ya hear is baby now, and he isn't even here yet! GILDY: Well, I'll tell you, my boy, you'll feel different when the little fellow gets here. There's something about a baby that's pretty wonderful. LEROY: Huh! GILDY: Wait 'til Marjorie lets you hold him. LEROY: (SOUR) Yeah. GILDY: I'll show you how to do it. I'll roll my coat up, you see. . . . Now, this is the baby . . . and you sort of cradle him in your arms like this. Such a little fellow . . . new to the world . . . and his bright little eyes look up at you ... so wide and wondering . . and his little feet kick the blanket away, and there are his toes ... ten of them then one of his little hands comes up and kinda touches your cheek . . . and he smiles. . . . LEROY: (PAUSE) Let me hold him, Unk. The Great Gildersleeve is heard Wed.. 8:30 P.M. EST on NBC.
