The Cavalcade of America dramatized the greatest events in American history and featured the biggest names in Hollywood!
In 1935, the DuPont Company chose to enhance its image by dramatizing great events in American history to an audience of millions each week on The Cavalcade of America. The dramas emphasized humanitarian progress, particularly improvements in the lives of women, often through technological innovation. One of the most prestigious series in all of radio, The Cavalcade of America shed light on little-known incidents in the lives of the pioneers of this great nation. The best talent in Hollywood stepped before the CBS microphones to star, including Humphrey Bogart, James Stewart, Helen Hayes, Basil Rathbone, Orson Welles, Bette Davis, and Henry Fonda. Stories were by Arthur Miller, Carl Sandburg, Steven Vincent Benet, and many others. The series enjoyed a twenty-year radio run, lasting until 1953 and making a transition to television from 1952 until 1957. Enjoy sixteen of the greatest episodes from this award-winning drama series.
