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

\ TIME FOR Beany has his say in a conference with writer Charles Shows and producer Boh Clampett. Captain Horaiio Huffanpuff ! When it's time for Beany, a hush falls over the house. Restless feet grow quiet and voices get low as the kids close in on the televi, sion set to watch little Beany, Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent, Captain HuffanpUfT and the rest of the puppet crew get themselves in and out of all sorts of fantastic scrapes. Oh, things like finding the fifth corner of the world, when all they expected was four! There's a sinister character, Dishonest John, whose evil designs are always foiled by the spirit of fair play and comradeship of Beany and his gang. That's why educators, parents, and the kids themselves go on finding time for Beany.
