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

BIG-HEARTED JACK Everything about Gleason is larger than lifehis heart, his purse, his dreams By JANE WELDON B ^IG-HEARTED Jack. It's a label most people won't quarrel with. Because everything about Jackie Gleason is slightly more than life-size. His heart, his bulk, his budget, his aent, his overcoats, and his vmderwear. When he was growing . up, even his dreams were huge. . . . Go back to Brooklyn in 1916. Herkimer Street and Rockaway Avenue. The day's February 26th. And John Clemens Gleason is getting himself bom to Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Gleason. It's a tough neighborhood; it's a cold day. A lot of his early life is destined to be tough and cold. . . .
