Treasury Star Parade

Treasury Star Parade was a wartime radio series created to support the U.S. Treasury’s efforts to promote the sale of war bonds. Its short programs brought together well-known performers and entertainers in service of that public campaign.

This recording is identified with Kay Kyser, the bandleader and radio personality. The series offered a mix of dramatic and musical entertainment, using familiar voices and performances to connect listeners with the bond drive.

The result is a compact piece of wartime broadcasting: part entertainment, part public appeal, with the direct, patriotic tone of a program made to encourage support for the war effort.
