Treasury Star Parade
A Letter from Lincoln
por
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 short dramatic presentations brought familiar performers and public figures to the microphone, using stories and appeals to connect listeners with the national effort.
The program offered a varied mix of drama, comedy, and patriotic messages. This installment, titled “A Letter from Lincoln,” draws on the image and words of Abraham Lincoln to frame its subject. The series’ concise format made each broadcast a focused piece of radio storytelling rather than a continuing serial.
Listeners can expect a performance shaped by the urgency and earnestness of wartime broadcasting, with entertainment serving a clear public purpose. The result is a distinctive snapshot of radio’s role in encouraging civic participation during World War II.
