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

Now that Jackie Gleason's definitely decided not to do TV regularly after next season, CBS is beginning to worry about a replacement— and also about what he might plan to say in the book he'll be writing . . . titled "Go on Red." "Go on Red" is an expression Jackie heard, when he was starting TV, meaning: "Start when the red light goes on" (on the camera). CBS hardly need be alarmed, because it will still be paying him $100,000 a year for doing nothing . . . particularly, for not appearing on any other network. Jackie just loves CBS — and that 100 grand a year. Planning now to do only a few specials a year (at the most) after next season, Jackie is, however, determined to make this coming season his busiest . . . and to wind up in a blaze of critical acclaim which will establish that there is every reason to call him "The Great Gleason." "I'm going to be in everything this year," Jackie says. "Last season, I wasn't able to be in everything— but, this year, they won't be able to keep me out. It'll be a rough year but I'm going to like it." Jackie is known to have advised some performers quietly not to fool around with lesser programs but to wait for word from him in the fall. One of these is young comedian Pat Cooper, who was on the Gleason show last season. Cooper's real name is (despite the Irish sound of that nickname) Pasquale Caputo. From Diamond to Hearts: David Janssen, the tough-guy TV detective who never thought twice about cracking a few heads as Richard Diamond, turns sympathetic in his new ABC series, "The Fugitive," which'll debut in September. Dave was just concluding a tender scene with talented Ruby Dee in the show's first episode when I walked in, and he explained the format of the hour-long drama: "I play a convicted murderer — but an innocent one — who escapes. I can't stay in any town too long EARL : r WILSON'S J -Si' HS. Vi ; ■ HmHHm ■ ■...::, ■■;;:..:. ■ . . .'.:.:: .■:■■■.'.■ ; .■:,... Special gossip section: Read it here first! Read it here right!
