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

THIS is the season when all across the nation, eager ladies are thinking of necklines and waistlines, of the frills which winter will bring, while their husbands are thinking of the bills which winter will bring too. Here in New York, nearer to Europe than most of the country, there are strange stories being told, news from the old world that old styles are coming back, news of bustles and laces and corsets stiff with whalebone. To the ladies — who may yet wear such things; to the men — who will suffer just as much — this is news of grave import. A loud and hearty boo is the answer of Elizabeth Now to tell us the truth about this year's fashions, comes Bob Trout to interview Elizabeth Hawes on his CBS Time to Shine program, sponsored by Griffin Allwite. Miss Hawes is famous in New York for her dress designs, famous throughout the nation for her book called "Fashion is Spinach." "Miss Hawes," says Bob, "what do you think of the new fashions?" "How would it be if I started out by saying that all this talk of bustles and corsets coming back is just plain bunk? Because, although fashions come in cycles, and about every fourteen years the same old things reappear, still, over the years, ■ Elizabeth Hawes' recipe for being well dressed: forget extreme style dictates and buy clothes that are right for you. And she proves her point in this coppery satin evening dress Bea Wain wears. ■ There's nothing fantastic about these two Hawes outfits.
