EDITORS COMMENTS
If Ye Break Faith," a captivating playbill from the Federal Theatre Project in Jacksonville, Florida, dates back to 1938. This intriguing piece of American heritage art showcases the production of the same name at Durkee Field. The Federal Theatre Project, established by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935, aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The vibrant and evocative design of this playbill reflects the rich cultural and artistic landscape of the 1930s. The title, "If Ye Break Faith," is boldly displayed in striking lettering, with a cross and two swords intertwined beneath it. The cross symbolizes the religious theme of the play, while the swords represent the political and potentially contentious nature of the production. Maria M. Coxe Skinner, credited as the designer, masterfully combined the elements of belief, drama, and entertainment in this graphic design. The play, likely a religious or moralistic drama, would have been a significant cultural event for the community. The Federal Theatre Project's mission to make the arts accessible to all Americans is evident in this beautiful and thought-provoking playbill. The Library of Congress holds this historical treasure in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the artistic and political climate of the United States during the 1930s. This unknown artist's work is a testament to the power of the arts to inspire, provoke thought, and bring people together during challenging times.
