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

y mv men d! By FRAN ALLISON Distance doesn't mean a thing — not when there are airplanes and the deep kind of friendship that exists between Janette Davis and Fran Allison. The last time Jan visited Fran, Bill Lawrence came along to see the sights of Chicago.

EST, CBS; sponsored by Lever Brothers for Spry and Rinso; Piltsbury Mills, Wildroot, Gold Seal Wax, the National Biscuit Co., and Chesterfield Cigarettes.
