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

He tells it in twenty-six separate chapters, each running twenty-seven minutes. It begins with the pre-War Pacific and Pearl Harbor, continues through Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Guam, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and ends with the postwar Pacific and the atom bomb tests. Thirteen of the chapters were ready and two had been shown on television by early fall of this year. Historian Fletcher Pratt, whose book supplied the title, worked with producers Otis Carney and Paul Cunningham on script and footage selected from more than 9,000,000 feet of U. S. Marine Corps combat film and from 3,000,000 feet of captured Japanese film. Producing company of this series is United Videogram, but there's another Pacific series coming soon, made by the same group that did Crusade in Europe. So TViewers will have plenty of opportunity to review our recent war in waters that were once thought to be as peaceful as their name. * # * Dennis James of the DuMont show Okay, Mother, has been the tele-darling of the Peabody Home for the Aged ever since last winter when he adopted the home. For his birthday the ladies gifted Dennis with a surprise party dominated by a three-layer cake which they had baked especially for him.
