I Want a Policeman,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a gripping mystery drama by Rufus King and Milton Lazarus, was presented by the Federal Theatre Project at the Mt. Park Casino in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in 1938. This evocative poster advertises the production, featuring a close-up of a man's intense face and hand holding a gun. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal administration initiative, was part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and aimed to provide employment opportunities for artists and actors during the Great Depression. The poster's design effectively conveys the intrigue and suspense of "I Want a Policeman," a work that continues to captivate audiences with its complex plot and compelling characters. The Federal Theatre Project's production of this play was one of many efforts to bring high-quality, affordable live theatre to communities across the country during a time when entertainment was a valuable source of escape and inspiration. Rufus King (1888-1953) and Milton Lazarus (1898-1967) were prominent figures in American theatre, with a long list of plays, musicals, and operas to their credit. Their collaboration on "I Want a Policeman" showcases their ability to craft a gripping and suspenseful story that resonated with audiences during the 1930s and continues to do so today. This poster is a testament to the enduring impact of the Federal Theatre Project and its role in preserving and promoting American theatre history. It serves as a reminder of the power of live performance to entertain, inspire, and bring communities together, even in the most challenging of times.
