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

All the men are big and strong and handsome, all the women are beautiful, and there are no things in my world but pleasant things. This week, for instance, my room has a golden floor, and my piano is of rosewood inlaid with shimmering pearl; I look out over spacious English lawns to a green wood in the distance. Of course, this is rather new. Last week I preferred a rough brick floor under the thatched roof of an Irish cottage, with the sea and white sails under the cliffs. Next week — well, I haven't decided, and I'd welcome 20 By ALEC TEMPLETON your suggestions. You see, I can have anything I want. I try to be tactful, but I can't help laughing whenever someone is sorry for me, because I can't see. Actually, you know, I'M sorry for him.

I don't have to see anything but the good and the happy and the beautiful, and when I decide something in my world could be better — presto! I change it. Now about you. Perhaps you haven't as much money as you think you need. But that's not really a handicap. Actually, it makes you one of my fortunate kin. You and I are luckier than we know — because we aren't burdened by nonessentials. Among other things, we can hope. There's always tomorrow with us, another day when glorious things can happen. If a bad break comes along, we can tear out the page and say to ourselves, "That was yesterday. Something nice is going to happen tomorrow." Looking forward is so much fun that sometimes it seems a shame to reach our goal, since now we can't have the joy of looking (Continued on page 55) RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
