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

MYRA GORDON (right) is a strikingly beautiful young woman with soft dark eyes and jet black hair, a young woman who in the past has led an exciting and not altogether wholesome life. Myra once tried to take Joan's husband away from her and almost succeeded in wrecking Joan's marriage. Joan has forgiven her for this and has befriended her on more than one occasion. Myra herself is married to Dr. Alec Gordon. Several years ago, her face was badly scarred in an automobile accident. It was Dr. Scott who attended her and his skill as a surgeon saved her from tragic disfigurement. Married life has never been happy for Myra and Alec. Only through Joan's help and her husband's patience has she been able to overcome her vanity and selfishness and gradually turn into a gracious person. She is no longer infatuated with Dr. Scott and is now doing her best to help him clear his name. (Played by Irene Winston) 26 DR. ABENDROTH (left) is Myra Gordon's father, a doctor of the old school, stern, dictatorial and utterly conservative. He is the head of a large city hospital and frequently has been harsh with the younger doctors under him. Myra has often felt the heavyhanded, stern methods of her father when he has interfered in her life. Abendroth has never been particularly friendly toward Dr. Scott and has been convinced that Scott is guilty of the crime of which he has been accused. Dr. Abendroth is not a cruel man, but his old fashioned, straitlaced attitude has caused both Joan and her husband much suffering. He is an excellent doctor, one who has earned a great many honors, and he could, if he wanted to, do a great deal toward helping Dr. Scott out of his present difficulties. His son-in-law. Dr. Alec Gordon, is doing his best to convince the old doctor that Scott has been unjustly accused of the crime. (Played by William Shelley)
