Treasury Star Parade

Over There

English · Radio, Dramatic Readings, War & Military Fiction

Treasury Star Parade was a wartime radio series created to support the U.S. Treasury’s efforts to promote the purchase of war bonds. Its broadcasts brought well-known performers to the microphone for dramatic presentations and other entertainment connected with the home-front campaign.

The program’s short radio plays offered listeners stories shaped by wartime service, sacrifice, and life on the home front. The series combined familiar voices and theatrical storytelling with a clear public-service purpose, making the bond message part of an engaging broadcast rather than a formal announcement alone.

This installment is titled “Over There.” Its wartime setting and patriotic framing place it within a program designed to connect listeners with the national effort through performance and story.
