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

#o#o Ub Adventure in Space With Tom Corbett 1. In the Space Academy where Tom Corbett and his pals are training to become Solar Guards, Commander Arkwright, standing, briefs Captain Strong and the Cadets for a rocket flight. In their rocket ship, Polaris, Captain Strong and Tom Corbett intercept a strange call for help from weather station #5 on Mars but the call is broken off. 2. Strong and the Cadets make an emergency landing on Mars, dressed in their space suits. They discover the mysterious cosmic disturbances have shattered the airtight hut of Captain Bex, weather station operator. 3. They find Captain Bex nearly overcome by the deadly methane gas escaping from fissures in the ground. After difficulty they get Captain Bex into the cabin of the rocket ship. 4. The Cadets rush back to the control room for a hasty take-off realizing planetary convulsions may destroy their ship. A sudden upheaval throws the instruments off, in particular the all-important gravitational control. The cadets find themselves helplessly floating in midair. 5. In desperation, they decide to form a human chain and with Captain Strong as the pivot, they snakewhip Tom Corbett down to where he can reach the gravitational control switch. Then working quickly against further explosions, they get the Polaris back to Earth.* 6. Now safely back from their mission the Cadets resume their studies, finding them dull labor after their thrilling adventures in space. Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, is seen at 6:30 P.M., Monday, Wednesday and Friday over ABC-TV.
