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

THE r — i ' I GENERAL TELERAOIO Q L J Information Booth Where To Write Dear Editor: I wonder if you could give me the addresses of CBS, NBC, and ABC, so that I can write for pictures of my favorite stars.

V.S., Nampa, Idaho Charlie Applewhite will make guest appearances on the Milton Berle programs. You can write to him c/o NBC-TV, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, N. Y. Sports To Spears Dear Editor: Can you tell me something about the man who plays Paul Raven in Love Of Life? B.J.B., Knoxville, Pa. Richard Coogan, who plays Paul Raven in Love Of Life, was born in 1914 into a New Jersey family of ten children — all of whom turned out to be musical. As a child he cherished dreams of a sports career, then switched to acting ambitions and began his professional career in 1936 as a spear carrier in Leslie Howard's production of "Hamlet." During the run of that same production, Richard met the girl he was to marry, former actress and singer Gay Adams. The Coogans now have a fiveyear-old son, Rickie. Richard, who recently took a short leave from Love Of Life to play the second male lead in the film, "Gunslinger," has appeared on Broadway in "Diamond Lil," "Strange Bedfellows," "Skipper Next to L ugene Sanders Richard Coogan God," and "The Hasty Heart." On radio, he has starred in Ellery Queen, Abie's Irish Rose and Fighting Senator and had his most exciting moment before the microphones playing with Helen Hayes in "Miracle in the Rain." His hobbies include painting, sketching, carpentry and singing and he indulges his knack for impersonations by recording every character in Love Of Life on his tape recorder, then playing the tape back as he rehearses his own role. Riley's Daughter Dear Editor: Could you give me some information on the young girl who plays Babs in NBCTV's Life Of Riley? Where can I send for a picture of her? J.C.B., Oneida, Tenn. Babs Riley is played by Lugene Sanders, who was cast in the role when someone noticed how much she looked like Marjorie Reynolds, who plays Riley's wife Peg. She was born in Oklahoma City in 1934 but, when Lugene was 14, her family moved to Hollywood so that she could enroll at the Hollywood Professional School and start to do little-theater work and radio bit parts. When she was a college freshman, she won her first major role as the lead in the Corliss Archer TV show. Aside from her current role as Babs, Lugene carries a full schedule of classes at the University of Southern California and adds to her hectic schedule some household chores as the wife of Marvin Solomon, also a USC student. Marvin and Lugene live in a San Fernando Valley apartment and are making plans to buy their own home. Lugene's name, incidentally, was chosen for her before she was born, with the provision that the "Lu" would be dropped if the baby turned out to be a boy. Recently, she has picked up the nickname "Luigi." For a picture, write to her c/o The Life Of Riley, NBC-TV, Sunset & Vine, Hollywood, California. (Continued on page 11)
