EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a playbill for the comedy "Help Yourself," produced by the Federal Theatre Project during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), 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 that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. The playbill, sponsored by the Associated Student Body of La Jolla Hi-School, announces "Help Yourself" as a three-act comedy and a road attraction. The design features a striking image of a man, possibly a character from the play, gesturing towards a grille displaying coins, including a dollar and several smaller denominations. The title "Help Yourself" is prominently displayed in bold, colorful lettering, with the tagline "A 3-Act Comedy - Road Attraction." The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the New Deal era, a time when the arts played a crucial role in providing entertainment and employment opportunities for Americans during the Great Depression. The playbill's design, with its intricate hand gestures and playful use of currency imagery, reflects the creativity and ingenuity of the Federal Theatre Project and its mission to bring the arts to the masses.
