EDITORS COMMENTS
No More Peace, New York [1937]: A Stirring Call to Action from the Federal Theatre Project This evocative poster, titled "No More Peace, New York [1937]," is an enigmatic and powerful reminder of a pivotal moment in American history. The creator of this image remains unknown, but we do know that it was produced during the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an initiative established by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The FTP was designed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States, including those who had never experienced such entertainment before. The poster's striking design features bold, capitalized text against an orange and black background, with the words "NO MORE PEACE" dominating the center. The words "New York" and "[1937]" are placed below, while the title "A Play by Ernst Toller" and the production information for "Loth L. and Louis L. Leslie" are situated at the bottom. The image also includes a silhouette of Trinity Methodist Church in the Bronx, New York, suggesting a possible location for the theatrical performance. The poster's political and religious undertones reflect the turbulent social and economic climate of the 1930s, a time when many Americans were seeking answers and action in the face of widespread unemployment, poverty, and social unrest. The call to "No More Peace" may be interpreted as a plea for an end to complacency and a call to action, as well as a reference to the religious and spiritual longing for peace and resolution. Today, this poster serves as an important historical artifact, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the American theater during the New Deal era. Its mysterious origins only add to its allure, making it a fascinating subject for further exploration and study.
