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

Happy seventh birthday to Kukla, Fran And Ollie and, of course, Burr Tillstrom. The lovable group celebrated in fitting style in October. Naturally, Ollie could hardly wait for the camera to click so he could dive into the you-know-what. night, December 13, over NBC-TV, with an all-star cast. The Best of Broadway series, on CBS-TV, has scheduled another famous play for their January 5 production: "Arsenic and Old Lace," starring Helen Hayes, Billie Burke and Boris Karloff. The February presentation on this once-a-month show may be "The Petrified Forest," with Humphrey Bogart making his TV dramatic debut. David Wayne's situation-comedy show, Norby, is all set to go: January 5 is the date of the first one, on NBC-TV. Wayne took a leave of absence from the Broadway hit, "Teahouse of the August Moon," in order to film this series — which, incidentally, was shot in color. Liberace — just about the most popular man in show business today — is expanding his career to the movies and, according to his fans, it's high time. He and Warner Brothers have set a deal for him to star in a series of pictures. His first one is scheduled to go into production in a few months. Liberace has said he does not want to do a film based on his life, but would prefer to portray a person like himself in his initial movie. In that way he feels he won't be a one-picture star. My Friend Irma may soon be back on television — under the title My Wife Irma. Cy Howard, who created, wrote and produced the original Irma series, is preparing to film the new one in association with CBS. Marie Wilson will be Irma again, but the role of her husband has not been set as yet. This 'n' That: The stork paid a visit, on October 24, to Dorothy Collins and Raymond Scott and presented them with a daughter — which means Dorothy will be returning to Your Hit Parade in the near future. Congratulations to Kukla, Fran And Ollie, which (Continued on page 7)
