EDITORS COMMENTS
a powerful and thought-provoking play by Henrik Ibsen, came to life on the Musart Theatre stage in Los Angeles during the 1930s. This image showcases the Federal Theatre Project's production of the play, an initiative created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The Federal Theatre Project was designed to preserve and develop the skills of theater workers, providing them with employment on public relief. It also aimed to bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced the magic of the stage. In this monochrome photograph, the playbill for "An Enemy of the People" is displayed prominently. The bold, black lettering against the white background effectively conveys the importance and urgency of the production. The text reads, "An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen," followed by "Federal Theatres Attraction - Div. of W.P.A." The play's title, "An Enemy of the People," is emblazoned across the top, with the subtitle, "A Drama in Four Acts," beneath it. The image also includes the location of the performance, "Musart Theatre, Los Angeles," and the date, "1936." This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s. The New Deal's Federal Theatre Project played a significant role in bringing the arts to the masses, and this production of "An Enemy of the People" is a prime example of the impactful and influential theater that emerged during this time. The image's graphic design is simple yet effective, with the stark contrast between the black and white elements drawing the viewer's attention to the text. The lettering is clean and clear, making it easy to read, even at a distance. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of live theater during the 1930s and the role of the Federal Theatre Project in preserving and promoting the arts in America.
