EDITORS COMMENTS
at the Hollywood Playhouse: A Glimpse into the 1930s American Theater Scene This photograph print, titled "Roaring Girl" by John C. Moffitt, offers a fascinating glimpse into the American theater scene of the 1930s. The image, part of the Federal Theatre Project, Division of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was created 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 cultural event. The photograph features a printing press in action, with a newspaper headline reading "Airliner Crashes!" in bold, attention-grabbing letters. The Federal Theatre Project's production of "Roaring Girl" is prominently displayed above the press, highlighting the collaboration between the theater and the press in sharing news and entertainment with the public. The play, produced by the Federal Theatre Project, was one of many productions aimed at providing employment and cultural enrichment during the Great Depression. John C. Moffitt's graphic design skills are on full display in this print, with his expert use of lettering and design elements that evoke the spirit of the era. The image is a testament to the importance of the arts and the role they played in lifting the spirits of the American people during a challenging time in history. This photograph is a valuable piece of heritage art, offering a unique perspective into the political and cultural climate of the United States during the 1930s.
