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

Compared to stage work it was different. You didn't have any commercials to read on the stage. But if it weren't for those commercials, Cathy decided, she wouldn't be in this studio waiting her turn at the microphone. Also, she wouldn't be watching the three young actors who were so convincingly playing the role of gangsters. She knew two of them, Jerry Hausner and Eddie MacDonald. But it was the third one she watched out of the corner of her eye. Tall and attractive, he played his part with a rough masculinity. She'd heard the others call him Elliott. She wondered if this were his first name or last. He certainly had plenty of talent. Yes, she decided, radio acting (even reading commercials) was pretty nice! Especially when you got to work with good-looking actors. Now, if she could only meet him. Just then, the crowd at the mike broke and began drifting toward her chair. Cathy immediately appeared disinterested in the whole proceeding. She wished she had something to knit just to keep her hands busy. She was sure they were fluttering like nervous humming birds and would expose her butterfly feelings to the men as they approached. "Hi, Cathy," said Eddie, "how's tricks?" "Hi," said Cathy. She almost stuttered when she said it. Gosh, that Elliott Was interesting-looking. "Hello, Cathy."
