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

Arthur and your fiiends There's a good-looking, spectacled young photographer whose tripods, flash bulbs and Rollie cameras are the only ones allowed within focusing distance of radio and TV's most photogenic redhead, Arthur Godfrey. The young man's name is Ozzie Sweet, and bike most people to whom Arthur takes a shine, Ozzie is hard-working, modest and sincere. He has almost exclusive opportunity to record all the goings-on of Godfrey and his gang. "Everytime Arthur sees me with a camera, he'll say, 'Here comes trouble!' He says it in fun, of course, but he really doesn't like to pose. I just follow him around and shoot him as he is." Ozzie claims that Arthur is a photographer's dream. "His expressions are ever-changing and he has more of them than most people." From other than a professional viewpoint, Ozzie has an even higher opinion of Godfrey. "Arthur has good inner thoughts," says he. "I think he'll go down in history like Will Rogers — he'll' be that much remembered as a personality. And that's not eyewash — I mean it sincerely!" The Chordettes (Jinny Osborn, Dottie Schwartz, Carol Hagedorn, Janet Erlet) were unaware of Ozzie' 's presence, thought they were only practicing, for TV camera. The Mariners (James Lewis, Tom Lockhard, Nat Dickerson, Martin Karl) also concentrated on the TV camera, giving Ozzie this magnetic and natural shot. "The Godfrey gang is always glad to see you," says Ozzie, who made sure he ivasn't seen when he snapped Jinny Osborn and Tony Marvin poring over the script.
