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

Reader bonus monthly viewers' guide Who's who Last year thousands of Joes and millions not named Joe, heard a petite songstress plead "Don't Cry, Joe." The recording of this plaintive plea proved to Betty be a smash hit — and it was the big break Brewer for Betty Brewer who, as a result, can now be heard with Edward Everett Horton on ABC-TV's Holiday Hotel. Though happy about her singing success, Betty still yearns for recognition as an actress. At Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana, she majored in drama, but upon graduation, took a job with Ray Heatherton's band. She also was a featured soloist with Tommy Dorsey's band. During the war Betty appeared with Katharine Cornell's overseas troupe in "The Barretts of Wimpole Street." "The Barretts" proved such a hit that it played Broadway upon its return. That was just enough stage experience to whet Betty's ambition for more. 66 Guy Lebow, nationally known sports •authority, has the distinction of having covered every major sport in radio and TV. As a developer of new ideas and *»ttU rules in boxing, hockey and other games, Lebow Guy is frequently called upon by officials to aid them in a guide for action in sports. His new book, The Wrestling Scene, has already sold 152,000 copies. Guy is currently doing sports on New York station WPIX and is heard on the Bea Kalmus WJZ-TV show, WOR-TV Starlit Matinee Theatre and the WORTV Sports Whirl. Guy was active in sports himself some years ago — -he was a semi-pro pitcher, played football and basketball and is still a good marksman. Having covered sports since 1931, Guy's thorough knowledge of the games plus his friendship with the players help make him one of TV's most versatile sportscasters.
