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

A musical career that began at eleven with a beat-up trumpet has turned into one of television's smoothest half hours. Here's how it's all tied together melodically In the Monroe manner TO BEGIN with, a Vaughn Monroe TV program is all-request. Polls are taken at three different service bases every week, the songs getting the most votes being given the big-production treatment. Some favorites are repeated often, proving the Monroe crowd is resourceful at providing new musical arrangements, backgrounds and choreography. Right from the outset, when it started last October, the show has flowed smooth as honey. Maybe it was the experience from all those years of one-night stands with bands, going back to Vaughn's high school days. Maybe it was all the radio programs, and the personal appearances and the showmanship he learned along the way. Or perhaps it's the easy, rich Monroe baritone, the harmonizing of the Moon Maids and Moon Men, the way Shaye Cogan puts across her numbers, the dancing of Olga Suarez and the boys, and the over-all production job of Bill Stuart and Don Appell. The sum of all this makes a fast-moving mid-week musical interlude. Vaughn still does his radio show from a different service camp every Saturday night. The Vaughn Monroe Show: Televised Tuesday 9 P.M. On radio Saturday 7:30 P.M. EDT. Both CBS shows sponsored by Camel Cigarettes. It isn't only in the movies that Monroe has a standin. He's a busy man and sometimes Stuart Foster, above, takes his place at rehearsal while Vaughn worries over scripts. 1 \ ■ Tfi R ^ — 1 ■ A 1 Vaughn and Shaye Cogan rehearse a number, left.
