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

ESPECIALLY FOR First Quinlan recording was "Buffalo Billy" — a fast sell-out. Now she wants to do her TV theme. There's a five-foot honey-haired blonde with wide hazel eyes who sings a song "Especially for You" three evenings a week over .NBC television. When she isn't on TV you're apt to find Roberta Quinlan looking over her apartment with an appraising eye, deciding what to redecorate next. Not that the chic four-roomer on Long Island isn't the envy of visitors as it stands — it's only that Roberta is a frustrated decorator, always planning new color schemes. Jack, her stockbroker bridegroom of four years, has learned now to recognize the "it's time for a change" look in his wife's eyes. He saw it just before she asked him to scrape down the walnut piano and finish it in black to match the living room tables. And when she decided the foyer bookcases should be refinished to match the black modern desk at which she answers fan mail (heaps of it, about eighty per cent from women who write how much their husbands adore Roberta on TV!). Roberta chose the white-painted wrought iron set that gives the dinette a lighter, gayer look than the The Mohawk Showroom with Roberta Quinlan:
