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

NATALIE CORE Fashion and Beauty Editor NANCYANN GRAHAM Home Decoration Editor wonderland — exciting, different and so worthwhile an extensive background in the theater, TV and the fashion field, plus a love of cooking, decorating and other household activities. Arlene has found that each day on the program is a new experience for her. "I watch and enjoy the things shown as much as any housewife listening," she says, "and many of the ideas I have incorporated in my own home." This is a nine -room house in Manhattan which Arlene and her husband, actor-director-producer Martin Gabel, redecorated themselves. In addition to the excitement of fixing up her own home, Arlene has had a fair share of thrills on Home. She has descended to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in a diving bell, allowed snakes to coil about her arms, and taken a jogging ride on a camel — after which she said dryly, "That's the last date I'll have with that dromedary!" It seems now that life couldn't be busier or more exciting for Arlene, and it is this desire to be constantly doing, added to her manyfaceted talents, that makes her the perfect mistress of Home. No home is really complete without a man about it and, on Home, this role is ably filled by Hugh Downs, who serves as host and Shopping Editor. That he is the only male seen regularly each day seems to agree with Hugh. "I love women," he says, adding: "Any man that says he dislikes having a lot of women around him is insecure. . . . Besides, the gals on Home are all a wonderful bunch to work with." An Ohioan by birth, Hugh came to New York by way of Chicago where he was an announcer for NBC shows and star of his own shows.
