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

A a ►»« *««i wis ; ■B Arms linked, Bob happily joins the Lithuanian Dancers of Chicago. Bob leads a guest dance group and audience in a German singing game. Each week, the Chaine Dancers do a dance of some nationality group. Every Saturday, from 6 to 6:30 p.m., the danc-< ingest show on TV beams out to a fanatically enthusiastic audience over WBKB-TV. PolkaGo-Round is described by its host Bob Lewandowski as "music, singing, dancing of many nationalities— a lively family party." Bob is an ideal selection to helm a show on which people of many national backgrounds appear. Born in Poland, trained for the stage, his life took an abrupt and dramatic turn when Nazi troops occupied Warsaw. He served as an announcer on Polish Underground radio and as a member of the underground army for five years — and was a prisoner of war in Germany when World War II ended. The experience gained for Bob a philosophy of life which sums up as: "Leave tomorrow for tomorrow, and you will be happier today." This optimistic slant on life has helped Bob in all his days since 1945, through all the many countries in which he performed to bring joy to people of many lands. When, in 1951, he reached the United States, he said: "I wasn't a wanderer anymore. I was home!"
