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

who s who in Television ROBERT MONTGOMERY PRESENTS— I, I ROBERT MONTGOMERY is sort of the dean of all drama talents— he acts, directs, produces, and frequently narrates the dramas he presents. He was born in Beacon, New York, the son of a wellto-do rubber company executive, and toured England, France, Switzerland and Germany when still a lad. His father died and, when the estate was settled. Bob and his brother Donald were penniless, so they went to work. In 1929, Bob Montgomery became a movie star. Ten years later, he was one of the first of the motion picture colony to go to war — he went to France and volunteered as an ambulance driver. He went into active naval duty in the summer of 1941 and, three and a half years later, was honorably discharged as a commander. In 1944, after a bout with tropical fever, he returned to Hollywood to appear in "They Were Expendable." He then directed and produced pictures and, as a result, joined NBC to become the "well-rounded" expert on all matters technical and dramatic in some of the greatest of the TV shows. He's married to Elizabeth Harkness and lives in a farmhouse in upper New York State.
