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

I'm homesick for Chicago. May I come out to spend the weekend with you and Archie?" I took a look around me. In plain Aunt Fanny English, the place was a mess — rugs off the floors, furniture out being cleaned. It was pure luck I had even received the call, for while our near northside carriage house was being renovated, my husband, Archie Levington, and my mother and I were staying at the home of a friend who was touring Europe. I'd merely stopped in for a few minutes to see how the work was coming along. But all the commotion of redecorating was forgotten in my pleasure at hearing from Janette Davis.
