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

MIDWEST Sheriff Sid broadcasts direct from "Hammerhead Mine. Sid Perry's sixteen years in radio and TV have brought a great deal of enjoyment to a great many people. But most important is the enjoyment — the love of the broadcasting business despite the hard work and the struggles — that he himself has derived from doing something he believes is right. He believes in children, in entertaining them and helping them. And anyone observing Sid visiting the children's ward of a hospital can plainly see that he is doubly blessed. Through his easy-going manner and his broad, friendly smile, he has brought joy to the children and, in so doing, to himself as well. . . . His "Popeye and Sheriff Sid" is seen on WCIA-TV, Monday through Friday at 4 P.M. "Noon Weather" is also on WCIA-TV weekdays. "Tinker Time" is seen Monday through Friday at 7:30 p.m. on WCIA-TV and WMBD-TV. . . . Champaign is rightfully proud of Sid. And so is his wife Margie; their son Perry, 15; and their 14-yearold dog, who's been convinced for years that he's a cat! Sheriff Sid The Iwo-Gun Hid! He's the man from Champaign who's got just about the biggest smile — and biggest talent — in Illinois Sid works on his stamp collection against a background of pictures he painted himself. At right, he, Margie and Perry gather for some music. Perry, a prize-winning snare drummer, organized the family into the Perry Percussion Group. 21
