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

It was a big, handsome coffee table which stretched like a bridge from the rose velvet couch to the bright drapes at the window. Mrs. White stole a glance at her daughter and smiled. Marie's radiance glowed like a neon sign. How nice, thought Mrs. White, to see her and Bob Fallon so happy. Now — if only Irma -like things would stop happening! "My, it is lovely, isn't it?" said Mrs. White, looking again at the coffee table. She was struck by its beauty and symmetry. It seemed to tie the whole room together, standing as a symbol of elegance. "Gosh, I'll say," said Marie, "it's dreamy! I only wish it hadn't cost so much!" "Cost? How much did it cost?" Said Marie in a wee, small voice, "$7,000!" "What! I thought you said it was a gift!" "Well, it was . . . sort of. . . ." "What do you mean 'sort of?" . "Cy Howard, our nice producer, gave it to Bob and me as a wedding present." "Well? Then how could it cost $7,000?" Marie's mother waited for an explanation. She simply could not see how a free table could cost so much. "Well . . ." Marie, it (Continued on page 90) Marie and Cathy in My Friend Irma, CBS Radio, Tues., 9:30 P.M.
