Lyrics:
Wish on the moon
And look for the gold in a rainbow
And you'll find happy times
You'll hear a tune
That lives in the heart of a bluebird
And you'll find happy times
Though things may look very dark
Your dream is not in vain
For when do you find the rainbow?
Only after rain
So wish on the moon
And someday it may be tomorrow
You will suddenly hear chimes
And you'll have your happy, happy times
So wish on the moon
And someday it may be tomorrow
You will suddenly hear chimes
And you'll have your happy, happy times.

Youll Be Reminded Of Me is a 1938 song, co-written by George Jessel, that was featured in the RKO comedy Vivacious Lady, most notably when Ginger Rogers sings it in her nightclub scene.
Oswald George Nelson (March 20, 1906 – June 3, 1975) was an American actor, filmmaker, musician, and bandleader. He originated and starred in The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, a radio and television series with his wife Harriet and two sons David and Ricky Nelson.
Nelson started his entertainment career as a band leader. He formed and led the Ozzie Nelson Band, and had some initial limited success. Nelson made his own big break in 1930, when The New York Daily Mirror ran a poll of its readers to determine their favorite band. Since he knew that news vendors got credit from the newspaper for unsold copies by returning the front page and discarding the rest of the issue, he cannily had his bands members gather hundreds of discarded newspapers and fill out ballots in their own favor. They edged out Paul Whiteman and were pronounced the winners. Ozzie Nelson - You’ll Be Reminded Of Me 1938 (Ozzie Nelson Vocal)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qEI_rOvLOug/mqdefault.jpg)

Operator 13 is a 1934 American pre-Code romance film directed by Richard Boleslawski and starring Marion Davies, Gary Cooper, and Jean Parker.
Based on stories written by Robert W. Chambers, the film is about a Union spy who impersonates a black maid in the early days of the Civil War, but complications arise when she falls in love with a Confederate officer. George J. Folsey received an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography.
The film features the Four Mills Brothers and Davies performing musical numbers and the supporting cast includes Ted Healy, Douglas Dumbrille as Jeb Stuart, Sidney Toler as Allan Pinkerton, Fuzzy Knight, and an uncredited Sterling Holloway as a wounded Union soldier.
Operator 13 is referenced in the 1935 Three Stooges short film Uncivil Warriors, which parallels the plot and includes the names of the characters (Operators 12 through 15, with Operator 13 having died beforehand). The title is referenced in the 1941 film noir I Wake Up Screaming when Victor Matures character accuses another of being a “regular Operator 13”.
Hubert Prior Vallée (July 28, 1901 – July 3, 1986), known professionally as Rudy Vallée, was an American singer, saxophonist, bandleader, actor, and entertainer. He was the first male singer to rise from local radio broadcasts in New York City to national popularity as a crooner.
Vallée was born in Island Pond, Vermont on July 28, 1901. Rudy Vallee - Sleepy Head 1934 (Gus Kahn & Walter Donaldson) (Operator 13)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qVe_Jsy2OA0/mqdefault.jpg)
