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

EDDIE FISHER'S LIFE STORY Tribute: Al Jolson's widow and former accompanist Horry Akst are witnesses as Eddie gives a gold record of his "Goodbye, G.I. Al" to little Asa Jolson. Thrill of a lifetime: Eddie entertaining the tro< laughter, babies to trip over, the Fisher home was full of these. Eddie's mother, still in Philadelphia — ^has just bought a new house. "Four bathrooms," Eddie says. Those days, they didn't have a house of their own, but moved around from place to place, and there were times when there'd be two, three kids sleeping in one bed, and the family lucky to have four rooms, let alone four baths. Eddie's father makes luggage now. Those days, he huckstered vegetables. Joe Fisher had an old car he'd converted into a vegetable truck and, if you'd lived in Philadelphia then, you could have seen the eleven-year-old Eddie, a basket hanging from his, Coronation: Listeners vote a virtual tie, and deejay Brad Phillips crowns both Como and Fisher! Off to the greatest adventure of all: Fans wave a fond farewell as Eddie is inducted into the Army. 46
