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

When no signal came during the last interview, Arthur whispered, "He's delving. He's not satisfied." Then Allen dismissed his "pupil," peered through his side of the glass pane. "It's no use," he announced. "It's a phony. These people aren't acting natural. Somehow they've found out something. Let's skip it. We'll try it again later, somewhere else." Now I know that Candid Camera is spontaneous and unrehearsed. I lost five hours and got cramped muscles proving it. Next day we worked in an office Allen uses when he hasn't an outside location lined up and ready. It has a name on the door, of course, but I'm not going to tell you what it is. Maybe you'll go there some day and get on Candid Camera yourself! This time the camera and surrounding screen had to be in the same room with the subject, so I was relegated to an adjoining room and given a pair of earphones. It was a lucky thing they kept me out because I got so convulsed with laughter I almost shook off the earphones. The result of that eavesdropping expedition was a hilarious Candid Camera comedy, the one in which a boy from a nearby food shop got the strangest order of his career. It called for food for seven men whom Allen said he was expecting later that day, men he didn't like and never {Continued on -page 86) More technical adjustment.
