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

■ Edna Best, Herbert Marshall's lovely wife, and Lee Russell, the girl he plans to marry after his divorce from Edna. ■ His trouble is simply that he has never permitted any of his loves to reach maturity. lywood often does, the four of them frequently dining together, in peace and amity. And you have that modern rectangle I spoke of. Edna Best is Bart's second wife. His first was Mollie Maitland, whom he married before the war. It's hard, now, to find out much about Mollie. His closest English pals in Hollywood say little about her except, "She was a very good woman, Mollie." They might, of course, have stayed married if it hadn't been for the war. Bart left her to fight for his country, and though he wasn't killed he came so near to it that his career and his whole life were almost ruined. That war made a cripple of him. He, a man in a profession where physical beauty is all-important, seemed doomed to hobble out the rest of his life in obscurity. It is to his eternal credit that he refused to accept that sentence. He, who was then and still is in practically continual pain, came back to the theater, learned to walk with incredible smoothness, overcame his handicap so that audiences never for one moment pitied him, but accepted him as the personification of all that (Continued on page 83) 39
