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

He looked up, straight into her eyes. And he seemed to see her, really see her, for the first time. of her voice, unsuccessful after sound came in. "When Drew and I saw 'Heaven on Wheels,' " she was continuing, "I simply raved about the gowns. I said to Drew — do you know my husband, Mrs. Trent?" "Why, I've — met him," Helen said cautiously. WELL, anyway, I told him, 'I simply must have that wonderful woman design a dress for me. Why, she's terrific!' And now that's what I've come to beg you to do, Mrs. Trent! I usually have my clothes done by Reginald Peabody — he's Mr. Sinclair's head costumier— but — well — " She spread her hands in a helpless gesture, indicating that Mr. Peabody would just have to get along as best he could, now that an authentic genius had appeared. "I'd be very happy to do some sketches for you to see, of course," Helen said. "I want you to do a very special kind of dress for me — an evening gown for a reception I'm giving for Prince and Princess Carnov — " And then, for a few minutes, Mrs. Sinclair explained her idea of a stunning evening dress — something in yellow and purple, because they were the Carnov colors, and — Helen repressed a shudder at Mrs. Sinclair's mention of the color scheme. "Yes . . . yes," she nodded. "Now, you're sure you won't be too busy?" queried Mrs. Sinclair at last. "I mean, with all your other work — I wouldn't care to burden you." "No, as a matter of fact I'm not busy at all just now," Helen said. Mrs. Sinclair expressed surprise and horror. "You mean a wonderful designer like you isn't busy every minute?
