Cavalcade of America
Cavalcade of America is an anthology drama series sponsored by the DuPont Company, which occasionally featured musical adaptations such as Show Boat and condensed biographies of popular composers. The series was initially broadcast on radio from 1935 to 1953 and later on television from 1952 to 1957. Originally airing on CBS, the series pioneered the use of anthology drama for corporate audio advertising. Cavalcade of America depicted historical events through stories highlighting individual courage, initiative, and achievement, often using feel-good dramatizations of the human spirit.
