EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white theatre poster dates back to the 1930s, specifically the era of the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative created 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 had the opportunity to experience such cultural events. The poster invites the public to attend various theatres in Los Angeles, including the Beaux Arts Theatre, Beacon near 8th, the Mayan Theatre on Hill at 11th, and the Hollywood Playhouse on Vine Near Hollywood Boulevard. The performances took place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights at 8.30 pm. The audience was asked to present their ID cards at the box office for admission for two. The current attractions could be found in the daily papers. The design of the poster showcases a bold, artistic style, with the text in clear, easy-to-read lettering. The use of monochrome, specifically black and white, adds to the vintage aesthetic. The poster's concept embodies the political and cultural significance of the New Deal era, a time when the arts were prioritized as a means of uplifting the community and providing employment opportunities during a time of economic hardship. This poster is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of the United States, and a reminder of the importance of the arts in bringing people together and enriching our lives. The creator of this poster remains unknown, but their work continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
