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 man was John Houseman, who had gained fame for his sensational production of Gertrude JANUARY, 1940 ■ Orson Welles has everything now, but his daughter Christopher Marlowe is his greatest delight. Stein's opera "Four Saints in Three Acts." He'd seen the manuscript of a play called "Panic," he said, by the poet, Archibald MacLeish. An altogether different kind of play. Poetic. Real. True to the times. A play of shadows and angry crowds and brutal faces. A play that should be produced — even if it were only for a night. Houseman had enough money for a three-night run.
