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

(Continued from, page 3) So thanks for the grand evenings you've given us, Don Ameche. Thanks, a million. — Claude Desautels, Montreal, Canada. FOURTH PRIZE ROMANCE VIA RADIO I like the letter "Radio Decides Career," in October Radio Mirror. In my case, it is "Radio for Romance." A certain radio singer used to please me very much with his songs. So much, that my friends teased me about him. I didn't care because I enjoyed his songs. I had the last laugh anyway. Because one day when I was in his city visiting, I met him at a radio station. Now we are engaged and I surely thank radio for introducing me to my romance. — Miss E. McDonald, Vernonia, Oregon. FIFTH PRIZE TOO MANY DOCTORS? Why do sponsors allow so many programs to weave their daily serials around physicians? In the stories they are usually portrayed either as a saint or sinner: never as a man with the right to live his own life. I respect physicians for their untiring efforts to aid suffering humanity and they deserve a better break than being created from a writer's fancy to use in dozens of daily serials which we hear on the air. In other words, the "doctor stories" are being over done. — Jessie Ervin, Connersville, Ind. SIXTH PRIZE THE INCONSIDERATE HOSTESS A certain lady played her radio almost incessantly. When guests entered her home they were momentarily deafened by the powerful sounds which filled the room. Yet, the hostess was never known to disconnect the radio or to lower its tone. Consequently, her callers found it necessary to raise their voices to the shouting point, in order to make themselves heard. Stock market reports, patent medicine advertisements, etc., all combined with numerous forms of static, served to torment the guests. The hostess felt sadly neglected when her friends no longer called at her home. Apparently, she never suspected that she was solely to blame for her unhappy predicament. — Winnie Meeks, Rusk, Texas. SEVENTH PRIZE WHO WANTS POLITICS? Why not keep politics out of the day-time scripts? Mary Marlin has been overrun with senators and political talk ever since I can remember. Quite boring if you ask me. And now, here comes Ma Perkins, getting into the political "mud." Her future son-in-law is running for something or other. Here's hoping none of the others "follow suit." — Mrs. Edward J. Andresen, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
