EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating playbill poster from the 1930s, showcases the Federal Theatre Project's production of a hilarious farce by Paul Vulpius. Established in 1935 by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), the Federal Theatre Project aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this cultural event. The vibrant, Art Deco-inspired design features a striking image of a man in a top hat and tails, gesturing towards a money bag labeled "Help Yourself," surrounded by playful lettering and the tagline "A Hilarious Farce by Paul Vulpius." The poster's rich colors and bold typography reflect the optimistic spirit of the New Deal era. The playbill does not provide information about the specific actors or production team, but it does credit Fodor Ladislas as the designer and Hans Adler as the graphic designer. Other notable contributors to the Federal Theatre Project include Laszlo Lakatos and Paul Vulpius. This poster serves as a testament to the Federal Theatre Project's commitment to providing entertainment and employment opportunities during the Great Depression. Its eye-catching design and intriguing title continue to captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s.
