EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases the excitement and diversity of a 1930s Vaudeville performance presented by The Federal Theatre Project. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop the skills of theater workers, provide employment through public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such experiences. The intricately designed poster announces an evening of "All Big Acts," featuring a diverse lineup of entertainers. Among them are Archi Onri, Sheer & Ferguson, Cloy & Lista, Duncan & Ferris, the 4 Aces, Reynolds & Glen, Hanlon Bros. & Nora, and Lord Winchester. The bill also includes "Recollections," a comedy, dancing, and singing act. The poster's graphic design is a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of the era. The bold lettering and color palette draw the eye to the performers' names, while the intricate illustrations add a sense of whimsy and excitement. The location of the performance is listed as Trinity M.E. Church in New York City, further emphasizing the event's connection to the rich cultural and political landscape of the United States during the 1930s. The New Deal's Federal Theatre Project played a crucial role in preserving and promoting the performing arts during a time of economic hardship, and this poster offers a glimpse into the vibrant and diverse world of Vaudeville that thrived under its auspices.
