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 Corrells' family ranges in age from ten to two, consists of Dorothy, Barbara, Charles, Jr., Jackie, Richard. When I went to work for The Boys — as just about everybody called them then and just about everybody still does — I decided almost immediately to reform them. There was nothing wrong, of course, with their radio programs; I'd been listening to them and enjoying them for a long time. But the office routine of Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll left just about everything desirable to be desired. I considered myself a brisk and efficient secretary and I set about making my bosses brisk and efficient, too. Buying paper, for instance. Anyone who uses up paper the way radio script writers do ought to know that buying it a ream at a time is a waste of money and effort. I looked into the matter of volume purchasing, found I could buy the kind of paper they used in twelve-ream lots, or hundredream lots, or even thousand-ream lots. I promptly ordered a thousand reams.
