EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases The Ivory Door in Cleveland, Ohio, during the 1930s. The Ivory Door was a significant cultural venue during this era, serving as the home of the Federal Theatre for Youth, a project initiated by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The Federal Theatre Project aimed 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 entertainment. The image features a playbill for a production presented by the Federal Theatre Project at The Ivory Door. The playbill, designed in the art deco style of the time, bears the title 'The Works Progress Administration in Ohio - Presents - the Federal Theatre for Youth - in - The Ivory Door' and is attributed to A.A. Milne, although it is important to note that Milne, the renowned English author, did not create this specific production. Instead, his name was likely used to add prestige to the event. The graphic design of the playbill is a testament to the era's artistic sensibilities, with bold lettering, intricate patterns, and a color palette that exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication. The Ivory Door's ornate door, visible in the background, adds to the allure of the venue and the promise of a memorable theatrical experience. This print serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and the transformative impact of the New Deal's arts programs.
