No More Peace,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating and thought-provoking playbill from the Federal Theatre Project in Roslyn, NY, during the 1930s. This image, held in the Library of Congress, showcases the cream-colored poster with bold, blue lettering that reads "No More Peace" in Western Script typeface. The play was produced under the Theatre of the Four Seasons, a division of the Federal Theatre Project, which was established by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The Federal Theatre Project was designed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring theater to thousands in the United States who had never before seen live theatrical performances. This particular playbill is believed to be from a production by Ernst Toller, a German-born playwright and political activist whose works often explored social and political issues. The poster's simple yet striking design features a silhouette of a man and woman, reminiscent of Greek mythology's Pygmalion and Galatea, with the tagline "A Play by Loth Louie Leslie" and "Directed by Loth L. Leslie." The play's title, "No More Peace," suggests a political or social commentary, reflecting the turbulent times of the Great Depression and the New Deal era. This vintage poster is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American theater and the impact of the WPA's New Deal initiatives during the 1930s. The image invites us to reflect on the power of theater to entertain, provoke thought, and bring communities together.
