Help Yourself,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating comedy production sponsored by the Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce, graced the stage of the Laguna Beach Hi-School Auditorium in the 1930s. This theatrical event was presented as part of the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The project aimed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theater to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced such performances. The intriguing playbill for "Help Yourself" announces it as a "3-Act Comedy - Road Attraction," suggesting an entertaining and lighthearted production. The design features a striking image of a man, identified as Paul Vulpius, gesturing towards a grille adorned with coins. The coins, including a dollar and several smaller denominations, are arranged in an artistic, almost abstract pattern. The text is accompanied by bold, colorful lettering, with the title "Help Yourself" prominently displayed at the top. The poster also includes the names of key creatives involved in the production, such as Hans Adler, Ladislaus Lakatos, and Fodor Ladislas, who likely contributed to the play's direction, design, or acting. The poster's overall aesthetic reflects the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the time, showcasing the rich heritage of American theater during the New Deal era. This fascinating piece of history offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the importance of the arts and the government's role in supporting them during a time of economic hardship. The "Help Yourself" playbill is a testament to the power of live performance and the enduring appeal of a well-crafted comedy.
