Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"You’re on the Air" by William Heyliger is a novel written in the early 1940s. The narrative centers around Joe Carlin, a young aspiring actor eager to make his mark in the world of radio. As he navigates the challenges of breaking into the industry, Joe grapples with his ambitions and familial expectations while dreaming of the fame and fortune that come with being on the air. The opening of the book introduces Joe as he wakes up with aspirations of becoming a radio actor, inspired by the success of a local star, Sonny Baker. Through his interactions with family and friends, Joe's passion for the performing arts becomes evident, despite his father's reservations about pursuing a career in show business. As Joe attempts to secure an audition, he experiences the contrasting worlds of amateur high school productions and the professional entertainment industry, setting the stage for his journey of self-discovery and ambition in the fast-paced world of radio.
