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 metal furniture, Roberta decided, would add lightness, feeling of space, to this small room. Roberta's dining and living rooms are both done in varying greens with accents of black and red. ROBERTA usual wood furniture. She picked the bold green and white striped foyer paper, planned the living room with its harmony of dark and lime greens, with a few red accents. The bedroom is in light greens and peach, the dressing table being a lime green modern desk converted by Roberta. Bedspread and pillow covers are gaily flowered. The kitchen is red and white, with philodendron growing in two small red holders made in the shape of inverted umbrellas. Bonga, pedigreed black French poodle, gift of a viewer, wanders in from the hall. Telecast, the canary, another gift, chirps in a corner of the dinette. A lion cub is to arrive shortly, from still another viewer, unless Jack can intercept it. Roberta plans to record her theme song, "Especially for You," as one of her Mercury recordings. Written in the 1930's and revived by her for the program, it has brought new success to its composer and lyricist, Phil Brogan. In fact, he's so pleased with what she has done for his music that he has done some new numbers — especially for Roberta. Mon.-Wed.-Fri. at 7:30 P.M. EST, NBC-TV, sponsored by Mohawk Carpets. The Quinlans enjoy no-show nights at home. Bonga the poodle considers herself one of the family.
