Hollywood Victory Caravan

Hollywood Victory Caravan

The Hollywood Victory Caravan was a two-week cross-country railroad journey in 1942 that brought together two dozen film stars to raise money for the Army and Navy Relief Society. It was sponsored by the Hollywood Victory Committee of Stage, Screen and Radio. The Caravan show played in 12 cities and netted over $700,000 for Army and Navy relief funds. At the end of World War II, a short film was commissioned from Paramount Pictures by the United States Department of the Treasury, to promote the purchase of Victory Bonds. Some 19 minutes in length, Hollywood Victory Caravan was released in October 1945 and featured Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and other celebrities who were not on the original road trip.
