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

"You're zoo funny, Jim," Nero quips, as Hurlbut mutters, "Well, pun's pun!" "Who «ives a noot for the viewers," sneers Hooty. But Heinle studies up on his new act. ZOO PARADE Iong known as a top-flight reporter skilled in getting generals, politicians, chorus girls, con men and Mr. Average Citizen to talk, Jim Hurlbut now turns interviewing talent to Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo, on a program called Zoo Parade, seen on the NBC-TV network Sundays at 3:30 P.M. EST, originating from station WNBQ. Hurlbut's ad libs provide the show's pace. Zoo director R. Maiiin Perkins interprets and supplies scientific data. But the eloquent expressions and totally unrehearsed stunts are the products of the furred, and feathered stars of the program. Although they pay no dues to actors' organizations they've been playing to the gallery practically all their lives, so television has no terrors for them. It has none for Jim Hurlbut either. He's the sympathetic emcee of WNBQ's Reported Missing program, on television, (Wednesdays, 9:45 P.M. CST) and on radio he covers WMAQ's news every night at 11:00 CST. RADIO MIRROR TELEVISION SECTION
