Do you remember the Maine-Stein Song, that is? And did you ever own a racoon coat or wish you did? Or ride in a rumble seat, or date Betty Co-ed, or listen to a tenor saxophone tell you sweetly and tinnily on an old record that MY TIME IS YOUR TIME?If you remember-and who doesn't-then you remember Rude Vallee. And if you know what's new and big on Broadway this season, then you know that Rudy Vallee is still a hit.
