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

By ELLIOT LAWRENCE RED BUnONS When I first met Red, he was rehearsing "The Ho Ho Song," with his hand around one ear. I sat at the piano and — well, we're still doing that song! and follows his performances on the show with keenest oppreciotion. Red has on amazing instinct about what's "right" for him, whether it's a bit of comedy, o line of dialogue, costume, set, or make-up. 1 THINK Red Buttons is a terrific guy. One of the best. Natural. Kind. A loyal, generous friend. An unmensely talented and experienced performer. And a worrier. What a worrier! , I perhaps know Red a litUe better than some wlio worK with him— because, in addition to being musical a'^«<=J°'" of the Red Buttons Show, I work with him on all Ins recordings.

Spending the day with Helayne, his wife, taking her out to dinner, maybe to the theatre, maybe going to the fights, which he's crazy about. Maybe just sitting around enjoying their apartment, which he's also crazy about.
