In Chapter Ten of Rudy Vallee's 1930 memoir, Vagabond Dreams Come True, Rudy relates tales of a ten-week tour that covered a half-dozen vaudeville theatres scattered across New York City, in every borough save Staten Island. Rudy and his band even played the very top theatre in all of vaudeville, the Palace. The band's radio audience turned out in droves to see them do their stuff in person, and Rudy could tell the tour was a big success, thanks to what he describes as "the telepathic interchange of appreciation with which the air [became] charged." (We know, we know---it had us scratching our heads, too.)
