Boy Meets Girl,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating theatrical production staged in Detroit during the 1930s, is depicted in this vintage photograph. The image showcases an enticing playbill advertising the Federal Theatre Project's presentation of this sparkling New York comedy. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 as part of the U.S. Works Progress Administration, aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live theater to thousands of Americans who had never experienced it before. The playbill announces "Boy Meets Girl" as the main event, accompanied by the screening of "Masquerade in Vienna," a witty film from Romantic Vienna, complete with English dialogue titles. The design of the poster is a testament to the era's cultural significance, with bold, colorful lettering and intricate graphic elements. Bella Cohen and Sam Spewack are credited as the creators of "Boy Meets Girl," making it a collaborative effort between two talented individuals in the performing arts scene. The play and film were part of a larger movement during the New Deal era, which sought to provide employment opportunities and enrich the lives of Americans through arts and culture. This photograph serves as a reminder of a time when live theater and cinema brought communities together, offering a much-needed escape from the challenges of everyday life. The Federal Theatre Project's contributions to the cultural landscape of the United States during the 1930s continue to be celebrated as an essential part of our country's heritage.
