EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 1930s theatrical event at the Pt. Jefferson High School Auditorium, where the Federal Theatre for New York State presented the popular American comedy "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." The production, directed by Louis M. Simon, was a collaboration between the Federal Theatre Project and the Port Jefferson High School Orchestra, both divisions of the Work Progress Administration (WPA). Established in 1935, the Federal Theatre Project was a significant component of the New Deal, designed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this art form. The playbill for "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," based on the novel by Anita Loos and John Emerson, boasts a colorful and eye-catching design. The title, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," is prominently displayed in bold, artistic lettering, with the play's creators, director, and musical contributors listed below. The Federal Theatre Project logo is also featured, emphasizing the government-funded nature of the event. This cultural artifact offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American performing arts during the 1930s, a time when the Federal Theatre Project played a crucial role in preserving and promoting the arts in the United States.
