AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The Sporting Globe was a newspaper published in Melbourne from 1922 until 1996. Printed on pink paper and published each Saturday and Wednesday by Walter R. May for the Herald and Weekly Times, the Globe played an important part in Melbourne's football culture, particularly before the introduction of television to Australia. The Wednesday editions widened its focus beyond sport to include articles on entertainment.

[Charlie Vaude Sporting Globe Series], Charlie Vaude , J. M. Rohan , series - publisher biography

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.
