EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, children and adults alike, for a magical afternoon of enchantment and wonder at the Hollywood Playhouse! This photograph showcases a vintage playbill advertising the children's matinee performances of Hansel and Gretel and Pinocchio, held every Saturday at the Hollywood Playhouse located on Vine Street near Hollywood Boulevard. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) created in 1935, brought the arts to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced live theatrical performances. This New Deal program aimed to conserve and develop the skills of theatre workers, re-employ them on public relief, and provide cultural events for the community. The playbill's graphic design showcases a whimsical clock face with the hours replaced by the titles of the performances, Hansel and Gretel and Pinocchio. The lettering is bold and colorful, inviting audiences to attend the matinee shows. Tickets were priced at 10 cents for children and 25 cents for adults, making live theatre an affordable and accessible experience for families during the Great Depression. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the cultural and political climate of the United States during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project's mission to bring theatre to the masses was a significant contribution to American arts and literature, and this playbill serves as a reminder of the power of the performing arts to bring communities together and transport audiences to new worlds of imagination.
