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

Despite its being in a valley, Jan Miner's Hilltop House came by its name by dint of the coincidence involved in Jan's signing the bill of sale on the same day she x'ed the dotted line of the contract giving her the starring role of the daytime serial, Hilltop House. Hilltop House, located in Meredith, New Hampshire, is over one hundred years old, and still points with pride to the original beams and wide floor boards. It is a nine-room, L-shaped house situated on twelve acres of land . . . most of which is uncultivated. The three-car garage was once the hen house. Lest it sound too, too grand, Jan hastens to explain that the only occupant of the three-car garage is a 1932 Chevrolet purchased for the munificent sum of one hundred dollars from a native of Meredith. "Despite its age," she explains, "it's in excellent condition. You see, it's practically never been driven over five miles an hour . . . the roads being what they are."

Here Jan spends week-ends attempting the seemingly impossible— overruling Mother Nature's plans for a rustic lawn. Even if she never succeeds, the change of pace is the real answer to this busy radio star's prayers. Farmer Miner struggles valiantly to assume the attitudes of farmerette and handywoman. If she seems too gay, blame it on the altitude. ■ 35
