Cavalcade Of Bands (musical variety)

     (Dumont Primetime, 1950 - 1951)

     [this series not only featured a big band ("band of the week"), but
      star vocalists and comedians; it was the first big showcase for
      the Dumont Network, a kind of companion series to Dumont's other
      blockbuster -- the "Cavalcade Of Stars", a comedy-variety series;

      A cavalcade of hosts for "The Cavalcade Of Bands" included Fred 
      Robbins, Warren Hull (who later became an announcer on quiz shows),
      Ted Steele (known for NBC radio's "Monitor" weekends in later years), 
      and finally "Your Hit Parade" vocalist Buddy Rogers]
