1 [Charlie Vaude Sporting Globe Series] Charlie Vaude , J. M. Rohan , 1939 series - publisher biography
— Appears in: The Sporting Globe 1922-1996;

The former vaudeville star (Vaude and Verne ) turned radio celebrity and author Charlie Vaude (aka Charles Ridgway) presented a weekly series of historical insights for Melbourne’s Sporting Globe between June 1939 and May 1940. Comprising memoir, funniosities, and gossip 'from one who was often there,' the stories, mostly relating to the variety industry, were told to journalist J.M. Rohan and published each Saturday. There was no regular series title, and hence each piece was essentially given a name that reflected the content.

The first article to be published, 'A Born Humorist' (10 June 1939) introduced Verne and provided salient details of his life and career. In all Vaude and Rohan contributed 43 articles to the series.
