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

what's new from Coast Rosemary ("Come On-A My House") Clooney looks a bit confused by Frank Fontaine's brand of daffiness. Bv JILL WARREN Jane Froman is the star of a brandnew television show, U.S.A. Canteen, which is seen on CBS Tuesday nights. It's a variety format, with Alfredo Antonini's orchestra and top "name" guests, mainly those who have entertained men in uniform. And, with the cooperation of the Department of Defense, talented service men and women will be picked from the various bases around the country to appear on the program. The Red Buttons Show is another new CBS entry on Tuesday nights, following the Canteen. Buttons has been a successful night-club comedian and his television try is strictly for laughs, with the emphasis on monologues and sketches, with a little music in between. These two programs are on opposite Milton Berle in most cities, so you may have to switch channels a bit in order to catch part of each. The John J. Anthony Hour has returned to the air on Sunday nights, over Mutual. Mr. Anthony, the man who makes trouble his career, once again will take up the problems and woes of his listeners. For lighter entertainment Sunday evenings, Cafe Istanbul is back on ABC Radio, again starring Marlene Dietrich. By the way, have you heard La Dietrich's recording, with Rosemary Clooney, of "Too Old To Cut The Mustard"? The "glamour grandma" really swings out. NBC has set up a most impressive program for its Television Opera Theatre in the 1952-1953 series. There will be eight presentations, including a repeat performance of Gian-Carlo Menotti's phenomenally successful "Amahl and the Night Visitors." This will be done in December, probably near Christmas Sgt. Tim Moloney (James Burke) and Inspector Mark Saber (Tom r Conway) keep sharp eyes on doorway during the TV Mystery Theatre.
