EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Professor Mamlock, the central character of Friedrich Wolf's social drama, during a limited engagement of the Federal Theatre Yiddish Unit's production of the play in Los Angeles during the 1930s. The image is taken from a playbill for "Professor Mamlock," which was part of the Hollywood Playhouse series presented by the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The 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 this art form. Directed by Adolph Freeman, the production of "Professor Mamlock" was a significant cultural event during the New Deal era, showcasing the richness and diversity of American arts and entertainment. The Hebrew text on the playbill adds an additional layer of cultural significance, reflecting the importance of the Jewish community in the American theater scene. The graphic design of the playbill is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity of the era, with its bold lettering and colorful imagery. The Federal Theatre Project's playbills, like this one, are an essential part of American heritage art and provide a glimpse into the political and cultural climate of the United States during the 1930s. This photograph is a reminder of the important role that the arts played in bringing communities together during a time of economic hardship and social change.
