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

Herb Shriner is unique because he's a comedian who never tried particularly to get either on the air or in the movies. By the time he made his debut as the Harmonica Humorist of the Camel Caravan (CBS, Friday nights at 10:00, EWT) he was already an established night club and vaudeville performer. He also had a complete radio career, neatly tied up and forgotten, behind him. Herb was born in Toledo, Ohio, May 29, 1918, and was raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana— the state he has as much trouble forgetting as Bob Burns has in forgetting Arkansas. He always loved to play the harmonica, and while he was still in high school he performed on it in an amateur show. A radio official heard him and invited him over to the studio. He arrived in time to make his first broadcast at the age of sixteen on a program called Hoosier Hop, which was on a full coast-tocoast CBS network. Slightly dizzy with success, Herb gathered six boys around him, taught them all how to play his favorite instrument, and became the proud leader of the "Harmaniacs" — Hot Hoosier Harmonicists. The Harmaniacs and the local radio studio became mutually enamored of each other, and in no time at all the boys were doing ten programs a week, followed in a short time by personal appearances. They toured Indiana and Ohio, but eventually there was discord in the ranks, so Herb took his troupe back to Fort Wayne, where the boys all found honest work, and went on to Detroit alone. From then on, his act was a solo, and gradually he added comedy to it Herb did a good deal of traveling. Once an Australian vaudeville booker took him "down under" for six months. Returning, he played in theaters up and down the West Coast and gained considerable fame as the guy who didn't want to go into the movies. Then, for his present sponsor, he began a tour of Army camps as master of ceremonies on the touring Camel Caravan — and stayed in this job until he went on the air last July. It isn't easy to classify Herb — he's part comedian and part musician, a combination of Will Rogers, Bob Burns, and Borah Minnevitch. He's better looking than any of them, though. Twenty-four years old, he stands six feet one and a half inches, weights 170 pounds, and has very light brown hair and blue eyes. Most of his harmonica solos are gypsy music, which he loves with a consuming passion. He collects gypsy records and harmonicas; right now he has about three hundred of the latter, including one an inch long which is very hard to play because there is always the danger of swallowing it when he takes a breath. He writes all his own comedy material, drawing equally upon personal observation and a vivid imagination.
