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

JOLLY ROGERS (left) is employed by an insurance protective association to hunt down Dr. Truman Scott, whom he believes guilty of aiding the swindler, Max Carsten. Rogers is a large, corpulent man with a ready smile and an easy-going appearance. But his looks are deceiving, because actually he is a crafty, relentless sleuth who will employ any method to capture the man he seeks. Most of Joan's and her husband's friends are under the consta:nt scrutiny of Rogers and he is also seeking Joan, because he believes her to be an accomplice in her husband's suspected crime. Mike Hagen, an old friend of Joan's, is always placing obstacles in Rogers' path and the detective is trying to cast a shadow of guilt on this kindly old night watchman. If Rogers ever catches up with Joan and her husband his way of dealing with them will undoubtedly be swift and cruel, but the Scotts' many friends are still thwarting every move of the wily detective. (Played by Craig MacDonnell) # MIKE HAGEN is Joan's oldest friend, a sweet kindly old philosopher who has known Joan since she was a little girl. Mike is em,ployed as a night watchman, and although this job has never paid him a large salary, he has often helped Joan through many a trying financial difficulty. But even more invaluable than this has been the wise advice which Mike has been able to give to Joan and her husband. It was Mike who helped them escape from their hotel right under the eyes of Jolly Rogers. His only fault is a tendency to be long-winded, but those who love him and have been aided by his wisdom don't mind this. (Played by Parker Fennelly) 28
