EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a playbill for the production of "Help Yourself," a 3-act comedy presented by the Federal Theatre Project, Division of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), during the 1930s in the United States. The Federal Theatre Project was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never experienced them before. The image features a striking design with a grille background, framing the title of the play, "Help Yourself," in bold, colorful letters. The play is described as a "Road Attraction" and a "Farce." Two men, one gesturing towards a pile of coins, and the other reaching out for them, are depicted in the foreground. The men's expressions suggest a lighthearted, comedic scene. The playbill also includes information about the performance, such as its classification as a comedy, the names of the creators - Hans Adler (design), Ladislas Fodor (director), and Paul Vulpius (producer) - and the location of the performance, the Ebell Theatre. The date and time of day are not mentioned, but the text indicates that there were two matinee performances. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the cultural heritage of the United States during the New Deal era, showcasing the vibrant and diverse performing arts scene of the time. The image is a testament to the power of art and entertainment to bring people together and provide a moment of joy and escape, even in the midst of challenging economic times.
