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

So some of the prizes, like certificates for clothes, and a TV set, made the apartment seem like fairyland. '¥t is maybe twenty minutes after ten of a Saturday I night in the Spring when, suddenly, the telephone rings in our four-room walk-up flat in the Bronx, and," Mrs. Cohen said, sounding breathless, "I'll never be the same again! " 'Who can be calling us,' Papa wants to know, 'this time of night?' "A scared feeling, like a thin little knife, stabs me. I am one of those mothers that worries about the children all the time. Twenty-two years ago, Papa and I lost our baby boy, our only son and never, since then, have I been free of fear for my children. Our married daughters, Judith and Roslyn and their husbands and babies had just gone home after spending the evening. 'I hope it isn't something wrong,' I say now, 'with Judy or Ros or the babies. . . .' "Our nineteen-year-old daughter, Louisa, answers the telephone. 'Hullo,' she says, in her natural voice and then, in an unnatural voice, 'Pa, oh, PA!' she is screaming, 'it's the Sing It Again program! It's Danny Seymour calling! He's asking for you!' "Mama's a celebrity, that's the best of it," the girls said. And so, for several days, Mama was! 40
