Mary's Other Husband,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating comedy production graced the stage of the Savoy Theatre in San Diego during the vibrant year of 1938. This enchanting theatrical event was presented by the Division of W.P.A., an integral part of the Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal initiative established by the U.S. Works Progress Administration in 1935. The Federal Theatre Project aimed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced such cultural events. The playbill for "Mary's Other Husband" proudly announced Fritz Feld, known as "Fritz Fields" in this production, in his funniest role yet. Feld, a talented actor, brought laughter and joy to audiences during this significant period in American history. The colorful and eye-catching poster, designed with a bold and artistic lettering style, showcased the play's title and the Savoy Theatre's location. The image of a playhouse adorned the bottom right corner, adding a touch of theatrical charm to the design. This intriguing piece of American heritage art is a testament to the power of the arts during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, a crucial component of the New Deal, played a vital role in preserving and promoting the performing arts during a time when they were needed most. The "Mary's Other Husband" playbill serves as a reminder of the political and cultural significance of the arts in American history. This piece of graphic design, created by an unknown artist, is a treasure in the Library of Congress's vast collection. It stands as a symbol of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and entertain generations. The textured background, the playful use of color, and the intriguing typography all contribute to the overall appeal of this and historically significant playbill.
