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

MA PERKINS There is no happiness without faith THE GENTLE FACE of Ma Pcrkins, with its freime of gently waved white hair and its revealingly humorous, bright eyes, reflects a woman who has lived richly and gained much from experience. This morning, as she busied herself with making her morning coffee. Ma was in a reflective mood. Evey, her first-bom daughter, had given Ma Perkins her second grandson, Jackson Perkins Fitz, and now Fay's marriage to Tom Wells meant that Ma's second daughter would face the miracles that come from love and companionship in marriage— and also the trials that must necessarily be faced by any two people who struggle to make their way in the world. ... If Ma had a philosophy which she could sum up in one sentence, it would probably be: "There are two forces in the world — the force for good, the force for evil." In order to hve richly, to wrest from life the best, every person must have a faith in the essential goodness of people.
