Another cut of the entire logo then appears.

Music/Sounds:

  • Opening: The opening theme of the show. Shortly before we have the quick transition, we hear people singing "Presenting the Cavalcade of Stars!".
  • Closing: The closing theme of the show. When the logo cuts, the DuMont announcer would appear.

Availability: Seen only on Cavalcade of Stars, starring Jackie Gleason and aired on the DuMont Television Network. It is said that a couple dozen episodes survive for this show.

Legacy: The closing version is one of the longest TV logos ever, since it lasts about 35 seconds.
