EDITORS COMMENTS
- A 3-Act Comedy: A Vintage Playbill from the Federal Theatre Project, 1930s This playbill advertisement invites audiences to the Savoy Theatre for an afternoon matinee of "Help Yourself," a 3-act comedy produced by the Federal Theatre Project during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States. The playbill features a striking design, with bold lettering and intricate graphic elements. The background is adorned with a detailed grille pattern, reminiscent of the intricate designs found on old coins and banknotes. The title of the play, "Help Yourself," is prominently displayed, with the subtitle "A Road Attraction - Federal Theatre Project - Div. of W.P.A." below. The image at the top of the playbill shows a man in a suit, gesturing towards a pile of coins, with the caption "Savoy Theatre...Help Yourself." The man, identified as Paul Vulpius, is joined by two other figures, Ladislas Fodor and Hans Adler, who are also engaged in hand gestures. The playbill does not specify their roles in the production, but their presence suggests that this is a farce or comedy. The playbill's text is accompanied by a colorful illustration of the Savoy Theatre, adding to the sense of excitement and anticipation for the show. This vintage playbill is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the New Deal era, and a reminder of the important role that the arts played in bringing people together during challenging times.
