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

PA A L*U04( DREAM we were crazy. We were. Crazy with joy! By JOAN LOBEL No one believed me. Strangers thought we were tipsy. I phoned my sister and said, "We were just on The Big Pay-Off and won a trip to Paris and a mink coat." She hung up. We went into restaurants, drugstores and hotels to tell anyone who'd listen our good fortune. "Listen to the crazy kids," they said. "No show gives away anything like that. They're crazy." But I'm here to say it's all true— the sensational Paris trip, the expensive mink coat and the accessories that ranged from lingerie to gowns. It all started when I had a miserable head cold. My husband Powell and I live in Cleveland, Ohio. We're a fairly average couple. We both work, Powell as a real estate salesman, and I myself as a personnel counselor. We live on a budget, trying to save enough money for a home and a family of our own. Our last vacation was our honeymoon, three years ago. You can probably fill in the other details from there. The possibility of owning a mink coat had never crossed my mind. The idea of a trip to Europe is something else again: There is a dream I've bundled in my head since childhood. "One of these days I'm going to get on a tramp steamer with all my pennies," (Continued on page 80) The Big Pay-Off is seen on NBC-TV, Monday through Friday at 3 P.M. EDT— Sunday, 8 P.M. EDT— for Colgate-Palmolive-Peet. The Marquesa Pamela de Connick — the show's representative in Paris — took us to Cafe de Colisee, on the Champs-Elysees. When we landed in Paris, we stepped out of the plane feeling like billionaire celebrities. We were all eyes during sight-seeing tours, saw everything — from Montmartre to Versailles. My camera-fan husband took pictures of me in the Tuileries, in front of the statue of Diana. 35
