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

JEAN HEHSHOLT Radio's Dr. Christian proves that a person can lead a normal home life even when his address is Hollywood, U.S.A. By PAULINE SWANSON By concentrating on the real values of life, the Hersholts have achieved a marriage that is enviable by any standards. Jean and his wife have celebrated thirty-six anniversaries, the last twentyfour having been spent in their present home. Among the thousands who come to Hollywood every year to work, or perhaps just to look, there are many who flee in alarm, horrified at the lack of reality, the feeling of impermanence which characterizes the place. "The people work on stage sets, and they live in stage sets," these runaways complain. "There are no roots in Hollywood, no reality." But they haven't looked far enough. There are real people in this unreal town, and real homes, as anyone could testify who has been lucky enough to visit Jean and Via Hersholt in the lovely, mellow house they have lived in for the past twenty-four years. "Dr. Christian" — for that is the name by which most Americans know and love Jean Hersholt — and his lovely Danish-bom wife live in a simple twostory house on a busy corner in the heart of Beverly Hills, but once inside its big vine-shaded front door they, and the many famous people from all over the world who are their friends, have entered a quite different world, an unhurried serene and cheerful place, filled with great books and great paintings, with warm welcoming color, and good, serious talk. Every inch of the Hersholt house and the charming walled garden is used and lived in — and it looks it. There is no clutter, but complete comfort. The visitor understands at once (Continued on page 88) Jean Heraholt, as Dr. Christian, is heard Wed., 8:30 P.M. EST, CBS.
