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

They're mostly double-chocolate, we're told— always a small fry favorite. . . . Typical fan letter received by Fran, the charming human on Kukla, Fran and Ollie: "I like Kukla, our little boy likes Ollie— and Daddy likes Fran." By the way, high school girls all want to know how Fran ties her scarves. She wears a variety of them to relieve the monotony of watching her half an hour a day on TV, Monday through Friday ("monotony" is her word, not ours, remember!)
