EDITORS COMMENTS
Elmer Rice's "Judgment Day" was a thought-provoking and socially relevant production presented by the Federal Theatre Project at the Hollywood Playhouse in Los Angeles, California, in 1938. This powerful poster serves as a testament to the play's impact and significance during this period of American history. The image on the poster features a stern and imposing figure of Justice, depicted as an elderly woman, holding a balance scale. The scale is tipped heavily towards the side of "Progress," symbolizing the importance of moving forward and making progress in society. The background is a chaotic scene of people from all walks of life, representing the diverse and complex nature of the human condition. Elmer Rice was a prominent American playwright and director, known for his innovative and provocative works. "Judgment Day" was one of his most famous productions, which explored the themes of morality, justice, and the human condition. The play was presented as part of the Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal initiative designed to provide employment for artists and promote cultural enrichment during the Great Depression. The poster's design is simple yet effective, using bold typography and striking imagery to convey the message of the production. The use of black and white, with the occasional pop of red, adds to the sense of urgency and importance. Overall, this poster is a captivating representation of Elmer Rice's "Judgment Day" and the impact it had on American theatre during the 1930s.
