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

In that year, her child was born crippled, and she suffered the loss of her husband. The young lady was Jane Pickens, whose daily program brings warmth and sunshine to so many over NBC radio. Until those fateful months, Jane's life had been fantastically successful: Jane was endowed with loveliness, intelligence and such great musical talent that, from the age of fourteen on, she had won scholarships to the best academies here and abroad. Critics and teachers predicted a magnificent career — and then her world came crashing down around her. Nothing in her background had prepared the sweetfaced, trusting, talented girl for the blow fate struck. Jane's childhood was happy, fruitful and musical.
