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

Bv JOHNNY DESMOND Back in Detroit, where I was a kid, they had an expression to describe anybody who turned into a sensation overnight. They called him a "ten-day wonder." Those words could describe anybody who burst into sudden fame; they could be said of somebody who turned into a genius on an automobile production line, or some youngster who became a one-game star in basketball, or some performer who made an unexpected smash hit the first time he stepped on a stage. Those words described me, back a few years ago. I didn't realize at the time that the description fitted so well. But it sure did, now that I think about it. Something else, too: those words {Continued on page 69) Johnny Desmond sings on Don McNeill's Breakfast Club, ABC-T\ and ABC Radio, M-F, 9 A.M.
