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

ff%ito KftsMiros HOW DOES A MINISTERS DAUGHTER GET INVOLVED He even follows her across the seas: Left to right, in a London night club, Christine and Dorothy McGuire with Frederic Jones— and Momo (Sam) Giancana with Phyllis McGuire. WITH THE KING OF THE RACKET GUYS? A Big Shot Right Out of the Roaring 20s . . . Gives Cadillacs to His Pals, Leaves Diamonds For Tips, Calls Singer Phyllis McGuire His Girl Friend. . . That's the New York Sunday News headline, last July, which first brought out into the open the rumors that one of The McGuire Sisters was going around with a gangster who's being probed by the F.B.I, and listed in the Nevada gaming-control board's "black book" as barred from licensed gambling casinos. A week after this disclosure, when the singing trio were supposed to open at the Desert Inn, Las Vegas, they cancelled but and the sisters promptly dispersed. Dorothy presumably flew back to Calgary, Canada, to be with her husband and sons. Phyllis didn't return to her New York apartment, but was reported by her publicity agent as having gone to Ft Lauderdale, Florida — where Christine has a home. The Desert Inn insists all it knows is that Phyllis was "suffering from nervous exhaustion." Newspapers report that she was ordered by her doctor to take a long rest. Did Phyllis have her "nervous exhaustion" because she was linked to a man being investigated by the F.B.I, as kingpin in a "crime commission" controlling the underworld ... a man whose reported association with Frank Sinatra may cost the singer his gambling license? . . . That Sunday News story labeled Sam (Mooney) Giancana, 53 — real first name, Momo — as "Chicago hoodlum No. 1 in direct descent from Al Capone"! It also said "this former getaway driver, burglar, bootlegger and triggerman . . . tosses big diamond rings to the pretty girls who follow him . . . and keeps a sentimental thing going for Phyllis McGuire. . . ."
