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

Candid shot from Break The Bank helps prove Bud's point that everyone's happy when a serviceman wins! No matter what the stunt, there's one thing that volunteers never lose — their sense of sportsmanship. It isn't what they win on Break The Bank or Beat The Clock — it's how they play the game By FRANCES KISH Ever find yourself sitting on the edge of your chair at home, trying by sheer force of will to help a radio or TV contestant get the right answer to a quiz or do the stunt required of him? Ten to one, you're more tense and worried than he is — because, according to Bud Collyer, there are many contestants who go through their paces like a breeze! They aren't scared, they aren't self-conscious — and they know a lot of answers. You can take Bud Collyer's word for that. As the skillful quizmaster of radio's Break The Bank, as the patient fellow who puts contestants through hilarious situations and games on television's Beat The Clock, he's learned a great deal about contestants — and never ceased to marvel about what he's learned.
