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

Of course, the magnificent gowns she designs call attention to themselves on their own merits — they do not need to be advertised by Madame or anybody else. To see them is to want them — if you can afford them. But sometimes Madame Sophie regrets a little that of her other major interest so little is known. That is, her interest in human beings — especially her own customers. From time to time she is able to reach out her strong little hands and give to somebody's life a turn — just a touch, a mere word, a single phone call — which sets in motion all the machinery necessary to put that life on a different track. A better track, of course, to Madame Sophie's way of thinking, or else she would not make the gesture.
