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

Mary Sinclair Critics agree that one of the most notable shows oh television today is CBS' Studio One, and an actress whose talents have won her many repeat performances on that show is Mary Sinclair. Mary, a California girl, appeared in various little theater productions in that state. Coming to New York in 1944 to make her fortune in the "big city" she finally landed a job as a Conover model. After some summer stock work, her acting ability was recognized by television scouts and she jumped into a starring "role on the Studio One production of "The Dybbuk." Since then she has appeared in "The Scarlet Letter," "Jane Eyre," and "Little Women." Mary was recently signed to an exclusive contract with CBS-TV. Married to theatrical producer George Abbott, she still finds time for her painting and sculpture hobbies. David Street Take any angle of musical performance and David Street, now singing on Broadway Open House, has probably had a try at it. While still in high school in Los Angeles, Dave started his own three-man vocal group which was booked at a local theater and later featured on radio. A six-footer with dark brown hair, Dave looks so good on TV that he has been starred on Melody, Inc., Make Me Sing It, and Manhattan Penthouse. Dave received good training for his present bout with Jerry Lester during the two years that he was a straightmanvocalist with Joan Davis. Besides radio appearances, he has made a score of records and played theaters all over the country. Then, just to round out his education, Dave directed the Bob Mitchell choir, played piano, bass, and drums with various dance bands.
