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

turned an unusual shade of chocolate green. Lawyer Smith extracted a single lavender colored letter from the pack and began to read — "My dear darling sweetheart and sweet dumpling. Today is the day that we was supposed to get married on, but fate — well, you know — it breaks my heart to know that we can't get married today but I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and on January the 1st, when I get all the money that I IS gonna get, we will get married on THAT day and be love birds." Lawyer Smith glared at Andy. "Do you remember writing that?" Andy writhed in the witness chair. "If I writ all dat stuff, Misteh, my pencil slipped." "Answer yes or no, Misteh Brown." "Yes an' no — mostly yes," said Andy feebly. "Then you not only told her that verbally — but you have put it in black and white!" "Who?" "You!" "Oh." "Oh? What do you mean oh." "Just plain oh. I just say OH." Lawyer Smith's lips were a thin straight line. "Please answer my first question — did you not?" "Well, if I is, I guess I is." Lawyer Smith mopped his brow and began to read another letter. "Sweetheart, I will never be happy until I is married to my sweet dumpling, and I want you to promise that you will wait until January the first and become Mrs. Andrew H. Brown, Eskimo." A ROAR of bewildered laughter burst from the spectators as the judge pounded for order. Lawyer Smith waved the letter again. "What do you mean, suh, by Mrs. Andrew H. Brown, Eskimo?" A light dawned in Andy's eyes. "Oh, dat's es-ki — es-quire. Dat's it. Somebody extra special. Esquire." "But you have here, Mrs. Andrew H. Brown, Eskimo." The judge was banging his gavel against another wave of laughter. Lawyer Collins almost groaned audibly. Amos covered his face with his hands. Lawyer Smith turned away from Andy with a bored look. "That is all." Andy stepped down from the stand, trembling like a leaf. Amos turned to Lawyer Collins — "Don't look so good for Andy, does it? Yo' know, I'm still tryin' to figger out why Madam Queen fainted yesterday. She don't faint so awful easy." Meanwhile, the second day of the trial rolled on. Andy grew more and more dejected as evidence of his duplicity with Madam Queen mounted higher and higher to the delight of the spectators. Accordingly, when the final day of the trial opened the following morning, Andy was in a blue funk. He was terrified when he saw that even Lawyer Collins looked worried while Lawyer Smith beamed confidently about the court room. And Madam Queen seemed to sense victory in the air for she was dressed in the best of her finery, sporting a sea green clinging gown covered with a design of huge red poppies. Everyone in the courtroom felt that this would be no ordinary day and events soon confirmed this feeling.
