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

The sponsor will send over a cake, and Louella will order ice cream and coffee for the gang, and everyone will sit around and "remember when." The gang referred to consists of the case-hardened studio technicians, and they are Miss Parsons' knights. Theirs is a simple slogan: she can do no wrong! So far as an outsider can observe, it's Louella's warmth to which their own responds. She's considerate of their problems, appreciative of their help and, by temperament and principle, quicker to praise than blame. ("As a bromide-user from way back," she'll remark, "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.") She knows her aides as humans, not as cogs in a machine. She knows their backgrounds, wives, and best of all, the names and numbers of their children, for she has a passion for children. Every Christmas she gives a party at a . swank hotel for her radio and newspaper staffs, plus families.
