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

Radio has its little jealousies, like any other business. Often, v/hen success comes, there are plenty of people to sneer and say it wasn't deserved. But nothing of the sort happened when Dinah Shore was elevated to stardom on this Sundaynight program of her own, in addition to remaining featured on Eddie Cantor's Wednesday -night shows. In the first place, everyone knew she was good enough to rate stardom. In the second place, she's so universally liked around the studios, personally, that everyone was tickled pink when she was promoted. Dinah's a tiny thing, with lustrous brown eyes and wavy brown hair. Dinah isn't her real name, but you can hardly blame her for changing it when you know that her parents christened her Fanny Rose. She re-christened herself after the popular song, and on her last trip to her home in Nashville, Tennessee, went to see a lawyer and had it made legal. Singing for her supper first appealed to Dinah when she was about ten, and rendered "I Can't Give You Anything but Love, Baby," at a meeting of her mother's ladies' aid society. The experience convinced her that nothing was quite as much fun as getting up and performing in front of an audience. So, although when she entered Vanderbilt University her parents thought she was studying to be a sociologist, Dinah herself wasn't fooled. She went ahead and got her degree, but she has never put it to any particular use. Instead, once out of school, she came to New York and had a very unpleasant year getting no place. This was discouraging, because she thought she was already a full-fledged radio performer, having sung frequently on WSM, down in Nashville. Finally she got a job singing on Martin Block's Make-Believe Ballroom, on a local station — but the job didn't pay any money to speak of. Then Lennie Hayton chose her out of fifty-odd applicants for a new radio show, but something happened and the show never reached the air. Just the fact that she'd been chosen for it, though, gave Dinah the boost she needed, and NBC signed her up. It was really the NBC program called the Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street that "made" Dinah. It's such a good show, and she did such good work on it, that in no time at all everyone who knew anything about popular music knew who Dinah Shore was. Dinah may be a big star now, but she still lives sensibly with her sister and brother-in-law in a New York suburban apartment. She isn't married, and cagily says she doesn't plan to be very soon, although she admits that there are at least a couple of young men in whom she's more than casually interested. Both are working for Uncle Sam and wearing uniforms right now, and anyway, Dinah's rehearsals and broadcasts and recording sessions, plus an occasional personal appearance, don't give her much time for romance.
