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

and had enough production numbers for theaters and ballrooms to win a spot in a new RKO picture, "Sing Your Worries Away." After a theater tour, the band takes up residence at Meadowbrook, N. J., for a spring engagement and a multitude of CBS and MBS wires, and then will have its first major New York hotel engagement — the Hotel Astor in the summer, following Tommy Dorsey. OFF THE RECORD Freddie Martin (Bluebird 11430) "Grieg's Piano Concerto" — "Serenade for Strings." It is seldom that a band is able to click with a tune similar to one that skyrocketed them to popularity but this platter does the trick for Mr. Martin. Harry James (Columbia 36478) "I Don't Want to Walk Without You"— "B-19." Helen Forrest clicks on the A side with a capable rendition of a hit ballad. The James instrumentation is par for any record course. Jimmy Dorsey (Decca 4132-4122) "I Remember You" — "Build a Better Mousetrap"; "Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In a Hurry" — "Not Mine." Disk honors of the month go to J. D. for a quartet of sock tunes from the film "The Fleet's In." Gives Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly plenty of vocal work although Helen falters at the finish of the Arthur Murray takeoff. Hal Mclntyre (Victor 27777) "Fooled" —"I'll Never Forget." Initial disk of a bright new band that shows plenty of promise in its tuneful shadings and excellent vocalist, Carl Denny. Carl Hoflf (Okeh 6556) "You're a Sap, Mr. Jap"— "We Did It Before." Sauciest of the new war tunes featuring the Murphy Sisters, a hard-hitting rhythm team. Kate Smith (Columbia 36498) gets properly patriotic with "They Started Something" and "We're All Americans." Count Basie (Okeh 6564) "Harvest Blues"— "Coming Out Party." A lowdown tribute to men of Cambridge. The students will like it bat don't play it for any members of Harvard's faculty. Woody Herman (Decca 4030) "Blues in the Night"— "This Time the Dream's On Me." If it's not too late for another version of this great number try this one. Tommy Dorsey (Victor 27749) "How About You"— "Winter Weather." A slick disk that will suit any taste. Guy Lombardo (Decca 4134) "Sometimes"— "Happy in Love." In the Lombardo pattern with plenty of infectious piano work and Carmen's singing. Barry Wood (Victor 27773) "Couple in the Castle"— "Who Calls." One of the airwaves' better baritones, rolls out a pair of winners worth listening to. Ray Noble (Columbia 36479) "By the Light of the Silvery Moon"— "While My Lady Sleeps." A novel treatment of a nostalgic old favorite coupled with a song from "The Chocolate Soldier." Doc Clayton (Bluebird 8901) "Gotta Find My Baby"— "Clayton Blues." Looking for something different? Try this indigo blues lament.
