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

Here's Mary Pickford's own story about Buddy, and why she came to New York with hhn "You have to be near the man yon love!" 24 Rogers Family portrait: Ma ord, Buddy Rogers, Roxanne Pickford Rogers and Ronald Pickford Rogers. Pick A Date with Buddy Rogers is heard M.-F. 11:30 A.M. EST, on ABC. Transplanting the roots of a wellloved, well-established home to strange new ground is something most women have always been able to do with a minimum of fuss and protest. The reason stands out with great clarity: a woman, quite naturally, prefers to be near the man she loves. That's why it was easy for Mary Pickford of Beverly Hills, California to say to her husband: "Why, of course I'd love to live in New York, darling. Let's go!" Husband Buddy Rogers' great success on radio and television during a brief period in the East was a fact that Mary was well aware of before Buddy returned to California to tell her about it himself. She had seen kinescopes of the Toast of the Town show when Buddy substituted as emcee for Ed Sullivan. She had read the rave reviews of his vocalizing on the Roberta Quinlan show. And friends returning from the East had informed her that Buddy was being hailed as the new sensation of television. Best of all, she had heard that the American Broadcasting Company wanted to sign him to a long-term radio and video contract. It was typical of Buddy's modesty about his own accomplishments that Mary hadn't heard the wonderful news during any one of their innumerable long-distance telephone conversations. Buddy, however, was much more eager to find out what was going on at home during his absence: the children's progress at school, Mary's new recipe for enchiladas (which he loathes, but will eat just to please her), the fact that eight-year-old Roxanne had lost another tooth, and that son Ronnie had frightened everyone by remaining away most of one day to hunt "coyotes" in the mountains surrounding their home. So it wasn't until Buddy returned to Pickfair that he even mentioned his activities in the East. He and Mary were seated in the comfortable little Book Room, (Continued on page 74)
