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

The first time when, as shy youngsters of 17 and 16, they met one eventful night at choir practice in their home town of Peoria, Illinois, and immediately fell in love. There followed a storybook romance and, after they had grown up a bit, they were married. Years of trouping, of living here and there, had been warmed by the dream that some day they'd have a beautiful home of their own. Again and again, they talked about (Continued on page 53) ■ Jim and Marian outside their playhouse which is just over the bridge from the big house.
