The Cavalcade of America

April 1937

Only 3 shows to enjoy with Miss Ginger Rogers' voice behind the main character.  This was an anthology series sponsored by the DuPont company (you know, the "...better living through chemistry" people).  The stories have historic themes and positive outcomes through the courage and perseverance of the characters.  There are several collections of the same shows on archive.org:

http://archive.org/details/OTRR_Certified_Cavalcade_of_America
   For this collection, you have to download large segments of shows to listen to them, as there is no player option.

These could be the same as the zip files (just above) but you can listen to one at a time.
