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

Our Wonderful Years I'm lucky. I have a husband, children and a permanent habitation for my heart BY FRAN CARLON I Fran Carlon, am three women, each one quite unlike the other two. I play these women on three separate radio programs, and in each role there is something of myself, the real Fran Carlon. For seven years I have been Irene on Our Gal Sunday, a daily daytime drama. Irene, married to Peter and mother of a little girl, is next-door neighbor to Sunday. She is warm, friendly and down-to-earth, a housewifely type at heart. I think I understand her so well because I, too, am at heart a housewife who lives for home, husband and children. Heaven knows I must look like a Plain Jane, because no one in our neighborhood suspected I was an actress until the grocer asked what I did and I told him I was on radio. The second woman I play, and have (Continued on page 76) Fran Carlon plays Lorelei on Big Town, Tues., 10 P.M. EST, NBC, sponsored by Lever Brothers.

Everything's fun for these two! I JL Casey acts in and narrates TV shows and Fran is a busy radio actress but both usually try to find time to "date" for lunch. We have a settled home for the family, a place where the children can have roots and grow to be strong, decent human beings. Casey, Kim and Kerry moke up the wonderful world Fran Carlon found just seven years ago.
