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

nn i • When One Man's Family celebrated its fifteenth anniversary on the air three years ago, its creator and writer, Carlton Morse, said: "I have worn out three typewriters and the seats of twentyseven pairs of pants while pounding out 28,000 pages of script — the equivalent of sixty-three book-length novels." Since then Morse has written approximately 8,000 words a week for the Barbours to speak. (You can figure out that total!) It was back in April, 1932, on NBC's San Francisco station that listeners were first introduced to the Barbours. Morse, who had a hunch that radio listeners were tiring of blood-and-thunder tales, told about the births, deaths, marriages and tragedies and happiness that can visit a real family. The show's long lease on the air is proof that his intuition was correct. Here's something to add to your believe it or not collection: J. Anthony Smythe, who has played Father Barbour since the debut show, is — a bachelor! imiirBifiimwfiiifflitiTOi1 in iniiyiJinfMHi dmce urn met mem, eiyAfeen weav-k two-/.
