by Elmer Rice: A Gripping Drama Poster from the Federal Theatre Project This poster announces the presentation of Elmer Rice's "Counsellor at Law" by the Federal Theatre Project at the Mason Opera House, located at 127 S. Broadway in 1938. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal administration program, was established to provide employment for actors, writers, and technicians during the Great Depression. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with a striking image of a determined and focused man, dressed as a counsellor or lawyer, clutching a document in one hand and a telephone receiver in the other. His intense gaze and furrowed brow convey the gravity and urgency of the situation, while the title of the play and the name of the playwright, Elmer Rice, are prominently displayed. Rice was a prominent American playwright, known for his socially relevant and thought-provoking works. "Counsellor at Law" is a gripping drama that explores the themes of morality, ethics, and the law. The play follows the story of a successful lawyer who is forced to choose between his personal and professional ethics when he is presented with an opportunity to manipulate the legal system for his own gain. The Federal Theatre Project's production of "Counsellor at Law" was part of its efforts to bring high-quality theatre to a wider audience and to provide employment opportunities for struggling artists during a time of economic hardship. This poster serves as a testament to the enduring power of the arts to entertain, provoke thought, and inspire.
