"fluff" to our collections to increase our claimed episode count
like many others.

Rudy
Vallee:
Hubert Prior "Rudy"
Vallée (July 28, 1901 – July 3, 1986) was an American
singer, actor, and bandleader.
He was one of the first modern pop stars of the teen
idol type. In the words of a magazine writer in 1929,
"At the microphone he is truly a romantic figure.
Faultlessly attired in evening dress, he pours softly
into the radio's delicate ear a stream of mellifluous
melody. He appears to be coaxing, pleading and at the
same time adoring the invisible one to whom his song is
attuned."
In 1929, Vallée began hosting The Fleischmann's Yeast
Hour, a very popular radio show at the time that
featured various film performers of the era, such as Fay
Wray and Richard Cromwell in dramatic skits. Vallée
continued hosting popular radio variety shows through
the 1930s and 1940s, such as the Royal Gelatin Hour,
Vallee Varieties, and The Rudy Vallee Show.
When Vallée took his contractual vacations from his
national radio show in 1937, he insisted his sponsor
hire Louis Armstrong as his substitute (this was the
first instance of an African-American fronting a
national radio program). Vallée also wrote the
introduction for Armstrong's 1936 book Swing That Music.
