EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases The Ivory Door in Cleveland, Ohio, during the 1930s, a significant cultural hub for the Federal Theatre Project. The Ivory Door served as a venue for the Federal Theatre for Youth, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the United States. Established 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 intricately designed playbill featured in the photograph, titled 'The Works Progress Administration in Ohio - Presents - the Federal Theatre for Youth - in - The Ivory Door,' was created for a production by A.A. Milne, a renowned English author best known for his beloved children's books, including 'Winnie-the-Pooh' and 'The House at Pooh Corner.' Milne's involvement in the project underscores the Federal Theatre Project's commitment to bringing high-quality, engaging, and diverse entertainment to the public. The Ivory Door's poster showcases the graphic design prowess of the era, with its bold lettering, colorful palette, and intricate details. The image serves as a testament to the political and artistic significance of the New Deal era, a time when the United States government prioritized the arts as a means of uplifting the spirits and providing employment opportunities during the Great Depression. This photograph is an essential piece of American heritage art, capturing a moment in history when the performing arts played a vital role in bringing communities together and offering a respite from the challenges of the time.
