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 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

Tony Martin's latest disc, "I Said My Pajamas," probably will win a prize for the oddest title. Like everyone else, if not more so, Lawrence Welk (Wed. 10 P.M. EST, ABC) had trouble computing his tax. Now that Vic Damone has signed a movie contract with MGM, there's much speculation as to the type of film he'll be seen in. Hottest rumor of all is that Vic will be teamed with Kathryn Grayson in a re-make of "The Student Prince." * * * It might be a good idea to keep an eye and an ear on a twenty-year-old French singer called Robert Clary. Young Bob was orphaned during the last war and even spent some time in a Nazi concentration camp. He already has made a few discs for Capitol Records, but the big push on making his French accent the most popular since Jean Sablon will start in a few months. * * * Some of the greatest of all the popular Tommy Dorsey records of old included the drum technique of Buddy Rich. And now, after being on his own as a bandleader and night-club attraction, Buddy has decided to rejoin Tommy's band. Not very long ago a new Rich-Dorsey contract was signed. * * * Youthful Elliot Lawrence has been named chairman of the bandleaders' division of the 1950 March of Dimes campaign. From personal experience, Elliot knows the value of the work done by the Fund in battling infantile paralysis. He himself started to learn piano when he used the finger exercises to rehabilitate his paralyzed fingers. * * * It may be difficult to understand how a busy band 14
