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

Listen to Betty Lou Gerson in The Story of Mary Marlin, the popular serial, at 10:30 A.M., E.S.T., on the NBC-Blue. MOST girls would be only too happy to lead a life of leisure and just settle down to a round of social functions. But not Betty Lou Gerson, attractive star of the Story of Mary Marlin, heard daily at 10-30 A.M. E.S.T., over NBC-Blue. She wanted to be an actress, not "just a society girl." While at school Betty Lou became interested in dramatics, taking an active part in the class plays. Her studies over, she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, and decided to join the Little Theater movement there. Later she left for Chicago where she joined the Goodman Theater. A friend who had written a radio drama to be broadcast over a Chicago station asked Betty if she would like to play the leading part. She accepted and, not without fear, faced the microphone for the first time in her life. But her interpretation of the role was excellent and her success led her to apply for an audition at the NBC studios. That ended her career as a teacher. Soon she was playing small parts in dramatic broadcasts. From then on her rise was rapid. In a few months she was leading lady opposite Don Ameche in his radio broadcasts. When the show was transferred to the West Coast Betty went along. There she decided the glamour boys of the movies were all right in Hollywood, but Radio Director Joe Ainley more closely resembled her ideal. Soon after the program was transferred to Chicago, she and Ainley were married. And now here are some personal FEBRUARY, 1941 items about Miss Gerson. She is 26, five feet six inches tall, weighs 106 pounds and has dark brown eyes and black hair. All of which adds up to a very charming person.
