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

Chichi — to which of these men will she give her warm heart? Chuck Lewis — not a suitor, he has known Chichi many years. Alice Swanson — her happiness depends on Douglas Norman's. ml riem loriw/w aecide fo umom Aer tmcew&um Aeawt Sewtiab the publication of the East Avenue News, a community paper, has come to live with Papa David. Chichi — lovely, volatile, impulsive, always the champion of the hurt, the underprivileged— loves Barry and Douglas and Toby, each in a different way. . Barry Markham is a theatrical producer and the only son of a wealthy father. Chichi was once engaged to him, broke it off because she .could not be sure that this was real love. Barry insists that she is the only girl for him, and he seems to be waiting for the right moment — -the moment when Chichi's sisterly love for him will change to another kind. With his money and background he could give Chichi all the material things some women cherish so much— and his sincere love could give Chichi all that any woman could ask of that precious commodity. Toby Nelson is Chichi's counterpart — a child of the city streets. Each has fought with and for the other many times. Chichi has advanced a little more in the social scheme of things than Toby, but he is "regular — a tough little guy with a heart of gold.". He loves Chichi, although that love is tinged with sadness, for he feels little hope of ever having her for his own. As far as compatibility is concerned, Toby can offer understanding, a deep appreciation of Chichi's innermost feelings. Chichi loves him, too, but she is inclined to fear that this love is "sisterly." Doug Norman, during the .war a correspondent in the secret service, now with Alice Swanson runs the East Avenue News. He is strong, domineering, and not at all a ladies' man. But he has deep feeling and understanding; and beneath the exterior he is a kindly, gentle person. When Doug was threatened with blindness, Chichi fell in love with him and they became engaged. However, Chichi broke the engagement when Doug's sight was assured — although she believes she loves him, she felt that he might have changed his mind. And it seems that he may have, for his interest in Alice Swanson is growing rapidly. Radio Mirror will purchase readers' answers to the question, "Which Man Does Chichi Really Love?"
