"fluff" to our collections to increase our claimed episode count
like many others.

Cavalcade
of America:
The Cavalcade of
America is an anthology drama series that was
sponsored by the DuPont Company. It was initially
broadcast on radio from 1935 to 1953, and later on
television from 1952 to 1957. Originally on CBS, then
later changing to NBC, the series pioneered the use of
anthology drama for company audio advertising. The
Cavalcade of America documented historical events
using stories of individual courage, initiative and
achievement, often with feel-good dramatizations of the
human spirit's triumph against all odds. This was
consistent with Du Pont's overall conservative
philosophy and legacy as an American company dating back
to 1802. The company's motto, "Maker of better things
for better living through chemistry," was read at the
beginning of each program, and the dramas emphasized
humanitarian progress, particularly improvements in the
lives of women, often through technological innovation.
Martin Grams, Jr. is the author of the highly-acclaimed
publication, "The History of the Cavalcade of America",
the authorized guide to the history of the popular
radio/television series. The 500 page book is available
from all major bookstores, including Amazon.com and
Borders.com. This book comes highly recommended. It
served as an invaluable resource with determining
correct titles of episodes. It features an extensive
episode guide. Each episode has the names of the radio
actors, which allowed, in the case of repeated shows,
one production to be distinguished from another.
