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

Ed and Pegeen Fitzgerald receiving guests and gifts on Hay Island at Christmas. HAY ISLAND HOLIDAY with the Fitzgeralds Pegeen Fitzgerald comes from a family of seven children, and Christmas for Pegeen has always meant a house swarming with youngsters — a "cutand-come-again cake" and some "glug." The youngsters were Pegeen's sisters and brothers — now all grownups with children of their own spread out all over the country — and neighbors' children in whatever community Pegeen's father happened to be building at the time. He used to bring folks over from all parts of Europe, sell them land and set up communities for them. It was from a Scandinavian group that Pegeen learned how to make "glug." "Glug" is a potent drink served with flames curling over the top of the mug. The "cut-andcome-again cake" is a fluffy item Pegeen's mother used to make back in Ireland. Since those days in her youth when Christmas was a rousing child filled holiday, Pegeen became Mrs. Edward Fitzgerald, rose in the ranks of women's broadcasters (Ed and Pegeen Fitzgerald can be viewed on WJZ-TV) and is now recognized as an outstanding style expert. Her days are busy — either in her cheerful office overlooking the East River, or attending authors' parties, previews, fashion shows. But the one day Pegeen and Ed keep open is Christmas. Each Christmas for several years now, the Fitzgeralds have played hosts to eight children from St. Elizabeth's Orphanage on Staten Island. The children visit them at their beautiful Hay Island home, and Santa flies in by plane with gifts and goodies. Since the first group of eight shy young. sters got their fill of joy and victuals, there have been many others. The first visitors are now grown and on their way in marriage or careers. Santa usually arrives by seaplane when he delivers the gifts to Hay Island folks.
