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

Who's who Eiteen Barton At the advanced age of four, Eileen Barton first stepped before the footlights as one of the moppets with Ted Healey and His Gang. Today, as a recognized singing star, she now steps in front of the television camera, recently appearing as a guest on the Morton Downey show, Star of the Family. Eileen toured for a year with the Healey troupe, but at her parents' request (themselves a vaudeville team) she returned to school. The urge to" sing was strong, however, and she soon became a featured performer on radio kiddie shows, playing with such stars as Uncle Miltie Berle. Her real break as an adult singer came when Frank Sinatra picked her to sing on his radio show. That show, plus recordings like "If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked a Cake," have set her on the road to nation-wide popularity. Carl King Way back in the early days of TV, Carl King arrived in New York with twelve dollars in his pocket and a portable typewriter in his hand. Today, as host on Captain Video, King's Crossroads and Mayfair House, Carl considers himself in a much sounder financial state. Carl was launched into radio at the age of nine singing on the Kiddie Club in his home town of Atlanta. While studying law at college he again took radio jobs ranging from a Santa Claus with a southern accent to a disc jockey. After working in Washington as emcee for nightclub radio shows he came to New York to sub for Alan Courtney on the 1280 Club. The job was supposed to last only six weeks, but Carl remained ten months. About that time he began doing TV short subjects. Narrations by King are still heard on TV films.
