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

IT'S SPIN TIME . . . for the teenagers and Jack Hilton, as he emcees a whirl of a dance-party show for Chicago's WGN-TV When Jack Hilton was in his junior year at Northwestern University, he went to WGN-TV in Chicago and auditioned for emcee of that station's Spin Time show. He had no previous experience in either radio or TV and just did it for the experience of a professional audition. Much to his surprise, he got the job. According to Jack, the show — seen Saturdays, 4 to 5:30 p.m. — features a new version of the old dance-party idea. Says he, "We use a night-club set with low-key lighting. We hold a dress-up party, the result being that the teenagers are usually in their best clothes and on their best behavior." . . . Jack lives in a "low-slung" ranch house in Elk Grove, Illinois, with his pretty wife Cherie (whom he met at a fraternity party at Northwestern University), their cute-as-a-button, year-old daughter Bryn, and a German shepherd called "Kordo vom Osnabrucker-Land" (named after a region in Germany). Jack's hobbies include swimming, gardening, refinishing cabinets and cooking on the patio mostly because "I have an apron that says so." Home-life for Jack and Cherie revolves around year-old Bryn, who manages to be in quite a whirl of activities, herself. 62
