ABOUT THE OLD TIME RADIO SHOW:

Historical Drama Anthology (1935 - 53)

Abraham Lincoln, one of the many subjects touched on by the old time radio series, Cavalcade of America.

The Cavalcade of America is now updated with 394 shows!

The Cavalcade of America is a well-done, factual show, and is a wonderful resource for all those who are interested in historical highlights and lesser-known episodes. It was the product of one of America's major industrial giants, the DuPont Company, and so it was written, acted and directed by some of the best people in the radio business. According to John Dunning in "On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio", DuPont wanted to create Cavalcade of America for two reasons. The first was to present and share the details of American history. The second reason was to quell criticism of DuPont after profiteering from the sale of gunpowder during WWI.

Controversy aside, it is a top-notch radio show famed historians and writers worked on the show, and the actors were many of the best from the stage, screen and radio. Full orchestra accompanied the action, and often were featured in segments or entire shows about American music, from brass band music right up to movie music of the 30's, and music historians will be very appreciative of many lesser-heard works that are featured on this show.

Du Pont advertisement; Du Pont sponsored the American History series after being criticized for war profiteering. The shows weren't made to thrill and chill, or churn up adrenaline like Escape.All the episodes are interesting, however, and some are amazing. Authors, playwrights, artists, inventors, industrialists are biographed. Later, in the early 40's, the war in Europe was dealt with. And throughout the show's run, inventions and scientific developments both past and present are featured. There is never any enacted violence on this show, as DuPont used it as a reputation vehicle, and only did a 2 minute "commercial" at the end of the show - probably the only company in commercial radio that did so.

Du Pont advertisement, sponsor of Cavalcade of America The Cavalcade of America might well be considered as the old time radio equivalent to the current A&E Biography channel, and History channel's offerings. It can be a wonderful show to listen to with grade schoolers, or the entire family gathered 'round, like in radio's golden days.
