Administration Chocolate Progress

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster advertises a production of "The Chocolate Soldier" presented by the Federal Music Project at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California. The image on the poster features a woman standing next to a soldier, both gazing intently at each other. The soldier, dressed in a chocolate-brown uniform, adds an intriguing twist to the traditional military image. The Federal Music Project, a New Deal initiative established in 1935 as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), aimed to provide employment opportunities for musicians, actors, and other performing artists during the Great Depression. The project presented concerts, opera, and plays in various communities across the country, bringing arts and culture to audiences who might not otherwise have had access to such experiences. The poster's design is simple yet striking, with bold typography and a monochromatic color palette that draws the viewer's eye to the central image of the woman and the chocolate soldier. The use of the chocolate-colored uniform adds a sense of warmth and nostalgia, while also hinting at the play's lighthearted and perhaps even satirical tone. The progress of the Federal Music Project and its impact on American communities during this time is an important chapter in the history of arts and culture in the United States. This poster is a testament to the power of the arts to bring people together and provide a moment of escape and enjoyment, even in the midst of difficult times.
