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

Now I Can SING AGAIN! "How wonderful it was to find someone who liked things I liked! That had never happened before!" It seems hard even to recall it now, but a year ago I was a trapped, emotionally exhausted, bitterly unhappy guy. My eight-year marriage to Joanne Dru was breaking up — it would have ended long before, and both of us knew it, except for our mutual, concern for our three children. The career on which I had embarked ten years before with such energy and enthusiasm had become an intolerable burden, worse, a bore. I was fed up with being the perpetual singing juvenile, certain in my bones that the public was equally fed up with meeting me in that role. For all I really cared, I could have quit — but I couldn't quit. The future didn't look black, just dirty, sullen grey ... it was as hopeless. £$peam?w uA a mamwme, e6Aecia/m amen mewe awe cfmawn, i&n t eabu.

I had flown down alone in my plane, just to get aWay for a few hours, just to have a chance to think. At the Racquet Club, I watched a beautiful girl playing tennis. I couldn't stop watching her, because she seemed to be everything I wasn't then — healthy, happy, vibrantly alive. Someone told me she was Nora Eddington Flynn. I wangled an introduction, and something happened inside me — Nora says it happened to her, too— the minute we spoke for the first time. That afternoon we played tennis together, and I was amazed that I could play so many sets without a hint of fatigue. I had been exhausted, or so I had thought when I arrived.
