The Cavalcade of America: A Tooth for Paul Revere Original script for the 1942 radio broadcast
New York: Batten Barton Durstine and Osborn 1942. Draft script for the 1942 radio show episode originally broadcast on May 14 1942. With a few annotations in manuscript pencil and ink on the front wrapper. <br /> <br /> The anthology series was part of a campaign by the DuPont chemical corporation to rehabilitate its image following the public exposure of its arms race profiteering during World War I. In lieu of traditional advertising creative director Roy Durstine proposed that DuPont sponsor "Cavalcade" which integrated the company's slogan "Better Things For Better Living Through Chemistry" and agenda into its stories of American achievement and inspiration. The show was an early experiment in propagandistic corporate brand-building virtually unprecedented for a company that had no commercially available products to market to the public. To further promote their clean humanitarian ideals DuPont shied away from using attention-grabbing tactics such as the sound of gunfire that were popular on other radio programs at the time-a choice that attracted pacifist writers such as Norman Rosten and Arthur Miller to the show. <br /> <br /> This episode was written by Stephen Vincent Benet a Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet and novelist best known for his narrative poem "John Brown's Body" and dramatizes the inception of the American Revolution.<br /> <br /> White titled self wrappers dated 5/14/42 with credits for actor Raymond Massey and writer Stephen Vincent Benet. Title page integral with the front wrapper as issued. 37 leaves with last page of text numbered 36. Mimeograph duplication rectos only. Pages Very Good plus wrapper Very Good plus unbound.

When Julius wanders off he is replaced in the film by actor Joseph Chaikin pushing the boundaries of cinematic reality. <br /> <br /> The film was restored and released by Steidl in 2007 alongside a book publication outlining the film which notes: "Frank's feature debut was first screened in 1968 at the Venice Film Festival. Everything which had defined Frank's art up to that point turns up in this film - the look at America 'from the outside' the poetic libertinage of the Beats the marginal in a central role. It celebrates the return of the poetic essay as assemblage the affirmation of the underground as a wild cinematic analysis in the form of a collage and skillfully weaves together opposites plays counterfeits against the authentic pornography against poetry acting against being Beat cynicism against hippie romanticism monochrome against colored. The story contains bizarre twists and turns and appears to be a rather artless-film-within-a-film being shown at a rundown movie theater."<br /> <br /> 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
