EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage playbill for the Yiddish production of "God of Vengeance" at the Federal Theatre Project in Los Angeles during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 as part of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration, aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers, and bring live theater to communities across the United States, many of whom had never experienced it before. The playbill announces Sholom Asch's dramatic masterpiece in three acts, "God of Vengeance," directed by Adolph Freeman. The production was presented at the Federal Beaux Arts Theatre and featured an excellent cast and special orchestra. The play was performed nights only and was not open to minors, suggesting mature themes and content. The design of the playbill is a testament to the cultural significance of the event. The bold, colorful lettering in Hebrew and English conveys the excitement and allure of the production. The use of the Beaux Arts style in the theater's name adds an air of sophistication and elegance. This playbill is not only a fascinating piece of American graphic design but also a valuable artifact of political and cultural history. The Federal Theatre Project's production of "God of Vengeance" represents the rich heritage of Yiddish theater in America and the important role the New Deal played in preserving and promoting the arts during a time of economic hardship.
