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

■ Introducing an exciting new radio hero. Dr. Jerry, who fights with all his heart to win the love of a girl and the friendship of a town which hates him YOUNG DR. MALONE leaned back in the comfortable chair and let his eyes wander around the spacious office in farewell. He loved the place. He loved the whole atmosphere of the vast, important Medical Foundation. He loved the faint perfume of ether, the crisp rustle of the nurses' starched uniforms; loved the immense, efficient plant dedicated to the soothing of pain. And he would miss it, he realized grimly . . . miss it badly. "Something's on your mind, laddie." Dr. Abercrombie's glance was keen. Jerry Malone's serious face broke into a grin at the older man's perception. In all of his years of work under the brilliant head of the Foundation, he had never been able to surprise that clever Scotch mind, that almost uncanny Scotch intuition. Well, he had a surprise for Abercrombie this time! "Yes sir. I'm afraid I'm leaving. Decided suddenly last night. The more I think of Belmore, the madder I get. So I . . ." "Belmore!" roared Abercrombie. "And what's Belmore? A pin-head on the map! A wee sma' town nobody ever heard of and nobody ever will. Ye've already wasted that fine talent of yours a year in Belmore. Are ye content to live and dee a country doctor when ye might be a wurrld famous surgeon, doing good for thousands? "Ah, laddie, ye forrce my hand!
