EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Hilarious Farce by Paul Vulpius Presented by The Federal Theatre Project, 1930s. This photograph showcases a playbill for the Federal Theatre Project's production of "Help Yourself," a farce by Paul Vulpius. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 under the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), aimed to preserve and enhance 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 this cultural event. The graphic design of this playbill, created during the 1930s, embodies the Art Deco style with its bold color palette and intricate lettering. The central image features a hand gesturing towards a money bag, emphasizing the play's title and suggesting a comedic exploration of politics and finance. The playbill also includes the names of key creatives involved in the production, such as Fodor Ladislas, Hans Adler, and Laszlo Lakatos, who were likely the designer, director, and set designer, respectively. The Federal Theatre Project's "Help Yourself" is an intriguing snapshot of American history, showcasing the country's commitment to preserving the arts during the Great Depression through the New Deal's WPA. This playbill serves as a testament to the power of the performing arts to entertain, engage, and uplift, even in the most challenging of times.
