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

NORA DRAKE'S ROMANTIC MAN Bill Quinn — alias Fred Molina — can appreciate women, because he has been blessed with five of the "most wonderful in the world" By HAROLD KEENE Athletic Bill got his first break playing tennis, still has a taste for outdoor sports. Bill Quinn is Fred Molina in This Is Nora Drake, CBS Radio, M-F, 2:30 P.M. EST, under alternating sponsorship of The Toni Co. and Bristol-Myers Co. Not long ago, the Sunday society section of a famous New York newspaper ran a paid announcement of Miss Nora Drake's marriage to Mr. Fred Molina, giving time, place, and a few pertinent details. The truth is, of course, that the notice was phoned in by an alert publicity representative of the popular radio drama, This Is ■ Nora Drake. But — if the newspaper ever wondered whether Nora Drake and Fred Molina actually existed — there are countless millions of people around these United States who could reassure the most skeptical editor. They listen to Nora and Fred every day, over CBS, and they know that the glamorous nurse and her romantic man are as real as their own next-door neighbors. I sat down with Fred Molina himself, the other afternoon, and found him to be a wiry, smiling . Irishman named Bill Quinn who is, by all odds, one of the pleasantest men I've met in many a day. The next afternoon, his wife came in from Long Island to meet me — a little jittery and clockwatching because the kids had been left alone — and the picture was completed. "The older girls are always perfectly fine," Mrs. Quinn said, worriedly, "because, after all, they're fourteen and ten. But the baby . . . babies can do such unexpected things and get into big trouble in such a little space of time. If I can just catch the four-thirteen. . . ." The Molinas — oops, sorry! (Continued on page 85) His wife Mae helps Bill in his career — just as his gallant mother did, when he was only a child. Hill!
