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

In all her seventeen years, Maudie could not recall ever being more helplesslydevastated. It was simply revolting to love someone she hated as much as Davy PAULY HOWARD, Maudie's extra-special girl friend, looked up from her botany book and gasped. She nudged Maudie. "Oooh look!" she whispered. "Your superman and that blonde again!" Maudie Mason looked. Her heart began doing flip-flops and her round blue eyes became dangerously bright, lit with an unholy anger. She hoped that the heat they were now emitting would burn two large holes in the back of a head covered with curly brown hair. The head belonged to Mr. Davy Dillon and it was very close to the blonde locks of a very feminine, cuddlesome student with whom OCTOBER, 1942 he was sharing a microscope. This, Maudie Mason thought, is the end. This loathsome, drippy exhibition, right in front of the whole class which knew that Davy Dillon was her man. In all her seventeen years, Maudie could not recall ever being more stricken, more helplessly devastated. Men, she thought, bitterly, oh, men! She wondered how she could ever love Davy Dillon when she hated him so colossally. When the bell ending the class rang, Maudie did not wait for Davy. "C'mon Pauly," she said, "let's breeze." Pauly's mouth fell open. "You're going to leave him with that droopsnoot?" Maudie nodded. There were tears in her eyes, but she marched past Davy Dillon with her head held high, turning it just once in order to scorch the temptress standing by his side. She felt supremely murderous, but on the way home this feeling was supplanted by a deepening melancholy which even Pauly's brave cheerfulness could not route.
