Lux Radio Theater - Dixie

Dixie is the story of a song that has been on
the hit parade for over one hundred years and here you will hear
Bing sing Dixie and some of the other great
songs from the picture. In the period before the civil war a new
form of entertainment flashed across the American scene, the
Minstrel Show. This is the story of the first of the great
Minstrels, Daniel Decatur Emmett who donned burnt cork and sang
his way in to the heart of a nation with his immortal song
Dixie which he composed in 1859.
