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

Once a junior golf champ — now breaking something besides records, out in Hollywood! Versatile Henny can cook and act — and even made this sculpture for a Bette Davis movie. Jim Backus By BETTY MILLS Jim Backus (co-star with Joan Davis on NBC-TV's I Married Joan) walked into his Beverly Hills kitchen with a pot of water in his hand and a perplexed look on his face. He put the pot on the stove and dropped in two eggs. "Hard-boiled eggs," he muttered, "hardboiled eggs. I'm sure that's the way Henny makes hard-boiled eggs." Then turning the heat on "high" he walked into the den with his script. Henny, Jim's wife, was on a short vacation. It was the third trip away from home she'd made in the past six months. She'd returned from her first trip at the same time Jim came in from a four-day jaunt of his ownto find her refrigerator door wide open! "Look, honey!" said Jim. "We've got our own crop of penicillin!" Henny hadn't seen the humor in the situation. On return from her second trip, she'd found the automatic coffeemaker plugged in. Jim had left it that way for three days. Fortunately, the safety unit had burned through a day-and-a-half before— but it left the silver pot with a new black crust! Henny had taken this third trip with misgivings— and only after she'd made Jim promise to eat his meals out and to stay away from, her kitchen! Twenty minutes after Jim was deep in his script m the den, the water in the egg pot turned to steam. Six minutes later, the eggs exploded (Continued on page 86) The TV wife of Jim Backus is, of course, Joan Davis— in / Married Joan, on NBC-TV, Wed., 8 P.M. EST; sponsored by General Electric.
