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

But Betty was in Indianapolis to work, too — as star at the Hilton U. Brown Theatron. Below, with director Jack Hatfield, who had also directed her before, in her teens. By JUDITH FIELD By this time, New York knows Betty Oakes quite well. As actress and person, she's known and loved by all the cast of Valiant Lady, over CBS-TV. To them, she's not only Betty Oakes but Roberta Wilcox, soon to become the bride of Mickey Emerson and daughterin-law of Helen Emerson — Valiant Lady herself. Ask Flora Campbell (Helen) or ask Jimmy Kirkwood (Mickey) or Malcolm Beggs (Louis Wilcox, Roberta's father). They'll tell you Betty Oakes is very much like Roberta: Attractive and sympathetic, with an appealing, forthright personality. But to understand a person, you should really have "known them when" ... as the folks in Indianapolis remember Betty (Betty June, she was then) when she was growing up in the Hoosier state. Of course — thanks to TV — they all recognize her as Roberta Wilcox today. But it wouldn't be human nature, if they hadn't wondered just how much of what they saw was still true . . . how much their Betty June might have changed in the not-somany years since she left home to seek fame in New York. They got their chance to find out, late last summer, when Betty came home to star at the Hilton U. Brown Continued k.
