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

In fact, she's a most attractive woman when she lets her face assume its natural contours. Serious and considerate she is. too — but seldom without a sharp eye for ludicrous detail. Such as, "'Our home is in the period of Great Expectations,' " says Imogene. tongue in cheek. We've been married sixteen years, Imogene and I. and — outside working hours — we're a quiet, ordinary sort of home-loving couple. Usually, in the evening, we go home and stay home.
