EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage poster for the Yiddish stage show "Clinton Street - Comedy in 3 Acts" produced by the W.P.A. Federal Theatre Project in the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration, was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States, many of whom had never experienced such entertainment before. The poster, designed by Chaver Paver, features a colorful and intricately designed layout. The title of the play is prominently displayed in bold, stylized lettering, with the subtitle "By Chaver Paver" and "W.P.A. Federal Theatre Presents" in smaller text below. The image of a man with a hat and cane, along with the tagline "In Jewish - Adelphi Theatre - 54th. Street East of 7th Ave," suggests the setting and genre of the production. The poster's textured background and ornate border add to its vintage charm and cultural significance. This poster is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and the New Deal's impact on the performing arts during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project's efforts to promote diversity and accessibility in the arts continue to be celebrated and inspire contemporary cultural initiatives. This unique piece of graphic design is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, theater, or art.
