EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Professor Mamlock, the central character of Friedrich Wolf's social drama, during the six-day engagement of "Professor Mamlock" at the Hollywood Playhouse in Los Angeles in the 1930s. The production was part of the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) created in 1935 to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theater to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced it. Directed by Adolph Freeman, this Yiddish production of "Professor Mamlock" was a cultural event that showcased the rich heritage of Jewish theater in the United States. The Hebrew text on the playbill announces the title of the play, the name of the director, and the location of the performance. The Federal Theatre Project was a significant part of the New Deal, a political and social movement that provided relief and employment during the Great Depression. The FTP's emphasis on the arts, including theater, was a testament to the belief that art and culture were essential components of a healthy and thriving society. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Yiddish theater in America during the 1930s. It is a reminder of the power of the arts to bring people together, to entertain and to inspire, and to preserve the cultural heritage of a community.
