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

In June Radio Mirror Joan Davis, of When A Girl Marries announced her Happy Marriage Contest, asked readers to send her their three rules for married happiness. Joan Davis and the editors of Radio Mirror have read the entries, judged them, and here are the three top prize winners: "Unmarried girls" category: Marjorie Goldsmith, Lafayette, Indiana. "Married one to five years" category: Mrs. Kenneth Raymond Cole, Springfield, Illinois. "Married five years or over" category: Mrs. David Waters, Miami, Florida. Marjorie Goldsmith is eighteen, still half tomboy and half grown-up, with red hair cut in a smooth cap and freckles she worries about. On the grown-up side, she has very mature ideas about her responsibilities as a wife. She's engaged to be married to Glenn E. Steiner, one year older than she — quieter of nature than Marjorie, and more set in his ways. Glenn works in the order department of National Homes Corporation; Marjorie, too, plans to work for a while after marriage, is engaged at the moment in setting up, with a friend, a public stenographer's office. Glenn's and Marjorie's wedding plans — originally plotted for sometime this autumn — now depend on Uncle Sam. If Glenn is called into service, he thinks it would be wiser to postpone the date than rush into a hasty war 22
