In Chapter 11 of his 1930 memoir, Vagabond Dreams Come True, Rudy Vallee has reached a point in his career that find him working all day long and sleeping no more than three or four hours a night. As Rudy describes it, he and his band had two rehearsals every morning, four live shows a day (five on Saturdays and Sundays) in a vaudeville theatre, and a steady night club gig that went from 11 p.m. till 3 a.m. nightly. Rudy also played a daily tea dance with a different, smaller ensemble backing him up and a dinner show as well.
