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

The "Hello Dere" comedy team of Marty Allen and Steve Rossi could be the Martin & Lewis of tomorrow. Keep your eye on this pair! Carol Burnett's helping them . . . Garry Moore's helping them . . . and Marty — the plump, wildhaired chap with the penguin walk — has caught the fancy of Abner Greschler, who managed Martin & Lewis into fame and fortune. He wants to star them in three big movies. "We need a slapstick team . . . there hasn't been one since Dean and Jerry," says Greschler, who's feeling his oats now because he happens to be managing Vince Edwards and Tony Randall also. Allen & Rossi have come up from the night clubs. They've transferred their humor to Garry Moore's show, primarily, without great alteration. I'm especially fond of their so-called interviews: Good-looking singing Steve Rossi playing the interviewer, with Marty being the subject . . . it doesn't matter which subject — anybody from Khrushchev to a lion-tamer — but always the interviewee must say "Hello dere" to the interviewer. Marty (playing a lion-tamer) : Hello dere! Steve: I know you're a famous lion-tamer. Do you hunt with a rifle? Marty: No. I hunt with a club. Steve: Aren't you afraid to hunt with a club? Marty: No. There are fifty of us. Steve: But you are carrying a gun. Marty: Yes. If a lion comes near me, I'll kill myself. Steve: I heard you crossed a lion with a skunk. What did you get? Marty: A dirty look from the lion. After which, Marty, on a recent show, recited a poem: "Early to bed, Early to rise, Until I get money To do otherwise."
