Vallee held another engagement at the Fern Brook on August 1, 1933.  A news account recalled the earlier incident at the park:

Rudy Vallee, crooner and band master, played a return engagement last night at Fern Brook Park where lastsummer he left the band stand and delivered an upper-cut to a heckler with a thud that reverberated over thepress wires of the land. There were no hecklers nor uppercuts offered as a partof Mr. Vallee’s program last night - which was very gratifying to the wavy-haired maestro who deomonstrated to his local admirers last season that he can sock aswell as sing.“If it had not been for all the publicity that resultedfrom that little incident it would have been promptly forgotten,” reasoned the high-salaried and widely-publicized saxophonist as he was dressing for dinnerin his suite in Hotel Mallow-Sterling last night.“I highly disprove of rough tactics, but that fellow became so insulting that there was only one thing to do - so I did it,” Mr. Vallee said, as he turned to face the dressing room mirror, revealing to his interviewer a silken undershirt that was rather badly torn about the label.“I was sorry that I had to resort to that sort of thing at Fern Brook.

A situation of that kind never arose before or since.

The grapefruit incident in Boston approximated it to a certain degree,” he recalled. What pleased Mr. Vallee, though, was the fact that when he left the bandstand to make a personal adjustment of affairs with his heckler almost every one of his musicians followed to give him the assistance that he did not need.

“It was just one of those things that might happen toanybody, anywhere or at any time. The type of person who makes a practice of taunting performers can be found in almost every city and I do not consider him a representative of the community from whence he came,” he explained. Asked about his plans for the future, the crooner confessed that he is still deliberating about what he will do with his time when his present work becomes profitless.

“Right now it appears I will be able to go on indef-initely making big money with my band, in shows, atdances and on the radio. There are so many places in this country and in Europe that I could play that it would take about two years for that work alone.

“However, I am considering an offer from the Schuberts to appear in a Ziegfeld Follies that they intended to produce with Billie Burke this fall,” he reported .The law books that Rudy was reported to have studied so assiduously in his dressing room between performances in New York theaters have not been opened for more than a year, he confessed.

“There is no profession I like better than law but I become confounded when I contemplate the large amount of time that is required before one can be admitted to the bar,” said Mr. Vallee. He indicated that he is not at all pleased with the rigid requirements for admission to the legal profession.

“If you study the records of the greatest lawyers of this country you will find that they were not the ones who spent most of their years in college,” he commented.

Before leaving the hotel for Fern Brook Park, the crooner and Miss Alice Faye were dinner guests of Dr.Charles Lecher of South River Street. Miss Faye is adancer who appears in the variety show offered as partof the performance of Vallee’s band.

Dr. Lecher was a classmate of the bandleader of Yale University. Besides Ms. Faye, others who appear in Vallee’s variety show are Monroe Silver, creator of the “Cohen on theTelephone,” Roy Sedley, a master of ceremonies, and Seabury Waring, who does what Mr. Vallee describes as“very unique imitations.” Mr. Waring, incidentally, regretted that he was unable to communicate with Frank Foster, Wilkes-Barre electrician with whom he had served in the United States Navy at Newport, R.I., during the World War.
