Episode description: The Great Depression proves to be a dynamic period of creative growth on Broadway. While productions such as Cole Porter's Anything Goes offer glamour and high times as an escape, others—such as the satire Of Thee I Sing and the WPA production The Cradle Will Rock, about a steel strike—deal directly with the era's social and political concerns. Bing Crosby records "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" and takes the Hit Parade by surprise.
