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

LON CLARK LAMONT JOHNSON JOHN BROWN vx PAUL WINCHELL MASTER DETECTIVE Dear Editor: I would like to see a picture of the actor who plays the title role of Nick Carter. Where was he born and is he married? Brooklyn, N. Y. Miss T. W. Lon Clark, who plays Mutual's master detective, was born in Frost, Minnesota, in 1911. An accomplished saxophonist, Clark also sang professionally and it was while appearing with the Cincinnati Summer Opera that he met his wife. The Clarks are the parents of two sons. FROM HILLTOP TO HOLLYWOOD Dear Editor: Please tell me the name of the actor who olayed Mike in Hilltop House. What is he doing now? Chicago, 111. Mrs. T. F. Lamont Johnson, who also was heard as Christopher Manning in Portia Faces Life, has gone West for movie work. MERRY MORTICIAN Dear Editor: Will you please give me some information on Digger O'Dell, the friendly undertaker on The Life of Riley. What other programs does he appear on? Ogden, Utah Mrs. A. P. H. Actor John Brown was born in England in 1904. At sixteen, he accepted a job in a mortuary and was so horrified by the sight of his first corpse that he left without waiting for payment. With his wife, a former actress, and two children, he lives in California where he is currently appearing as Al in My Friend Irma. Other radio credits include the Fred Allen and Jack Benny shows. His favorite song, naturally, "John Brown's Body." VERSATILE VENTRILOQUIST Dear Editor: I have heard that Paul Winchell used to be a sculptor. Is that true? Los Angeles, Calif. v. C. B. Yes. It was through his sculpture that he became interested in making puppets, which in turn led to puppetry itself and, ultimately, ventriloquism. His partner, Jerry Mahoney, was created when Paul was only seventeen. Today Jerry has a room of his own in the Winchell household and Paul's daughter Stephanie, four, seems to regard him as a brother.
