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

An old neighbor of Elvis Presley's pa met him in Memphis and said: "Haven't seen you in a coon's age — hear young Elvis has got to be a movie star." Mr. Presley nodded, "Yes, the boy's in the movies ... he lives right there in Hollywood." The neighbor cocked a sage eye, "Aha, now I get it ... no wonder he got into pictures, living next door to all them studios." All In the TV Family: The little people were comparing notes on TV fathers. Said Johnny Crawford, who plays the son of Chuck (Rifleman) Connors, "It's pure hokum — no real dad talks that soft and shoots that straight." Countered Lauren Chapin, Robert Young's youngest on Father Knows Best, "Just look at mine — he's always smiling and he's never wrong. No real daddy's like that." At this juncture in chimed Rusty Hamer, Danny Thomas' TV son, "Yeah, but on our show my dad's always yelling and he's never right about anything. But he isn't for real, either. That nose — you ever see a real father walking around with a thing like that in the middle of his face?"
