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

A picnic with the kids seemed a brilliant idea at the time but when it came to cooking the hot dogs — well, read this gay adventure of radio's Parker Family THE evening newspaper slid out of Walter Parker's hands and the music coming from the radio made him forget, for the minute, his hatred of the Nazis and the Japs. The song that floated sweetly to his ears was "Down By The Old Mill Stream" and it carried him back to his youth in Weston. There was a lump in his throat and, through misty eyes, he gazed at the dear, sweet face of his wife, Helen. Helen was watching their son, Richard, as he scattered photographs all over the living room, exclaiming and muttering. She was thinking of how much he looked like his father with his deep set, serious blue eyes and the shaggy, curly hair. And then, she thought, her heart suddenly growing tight, of other mothers with sons at war, sons not much older than Richard. She looked up at her husband and Parker bustled back into the kitchen, knocking a dozen forks out of his son's hand. "Why don't you watch where I'm going?" he demanded.
