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

GOT A WEDDING IN MIND? If you have, you've probably got a lew dozen questions in mind as well — like where do all those flowers come irom, and who pays the freight. Mulling this over, I looked up that flower book of Lois's I've quoted before. Here are a few tips from One Who (now) Knows. . . . Flowers at church or home are furnished by the bride's parents. On the other hand, the groom buys the bride's bouquet — if he's got any sense he'll ask her what kind. Either the bride's family or the groom pays for the bridesmaids' bouquets. 0.
