EDITORS COMMENTS
a vibrant and modern musical revue produced by the Federal Theatre Project in Los Angeles during the 1930s, is captured in this intriguing photograph. The production, which began its run on April 12, 1936, at the Federal Mayan Theatre, boasted a cast of 100 talented performers and an orchestra of 30 musicians. This Federal Theatre Project attraction was designed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced such cultural events. The photograph showcases a lively scene from the production, with a military band in full swing, their instruments at the ready. The drummer, poised with his drumsticks, leads the ensemble, while other musicians focus intently on their respective percussion and brass instruments. The text of the playbill is prominently displayed, its bold lettering and graphic design a testament to the era's artistic sensibilities. The Federal Theatre Project's commitment to the arts, and to providing employment during the Great Depression, is evident in this colorful and dynamic image. The New Deal's Works Progress Administration, which oversaw the Federal Theatre Project, aimed to uplift the country's cultural heritage and promote political stability through the arts. This photograph, a snapshot of a moment in time, offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse cultural landscape of America during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project's "Follow the Parade" was a testament to the power of the arts to bring people together, to entertain and inspire, and to remind us of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
