EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a playbill for the production of "The Locked Room" by Herbert Ashton, Jr., presented by the Detroit Federal Theatre in 1938 at the Beacon Theatre. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live performances to communities across the United States, many of which had never experienced such cultural events before. The playbill's design is a striking example of graphic art from the era, with bold, colorful lettering that announces the title, the author, and the cast of the mystery comedy. A handgun is prominently displayed in the center, hinting at the play's thrilling theme. The Federal Theatre Project, a significant part of the New Deal's cultural initiatives during the Great Depression, aimed to provide employment opportunities and promote arts and entertainment in the United States. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of American theater and the political and social context of the 1930s. The Locked Room's playbill serves as a testament to the enduring power of the arts to engage, entertain, and bring people together, even during challenging times. The unknown artist's masterful design captures the essence of this production and the spirit of the Federal Theatre Project.
