The Squall
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Dramatic Comedy of Old Spain: A captivating image from the past, this monochrome print showcases a theatrical production of "The Squall" presented by the Baker Federal Theatre as part of the Federal Theatre Project in Denver, Colorado, 1937. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration, was established in 1935 to preserve 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 the arts. The playbill, designed in the 1930s, features bold, artistic lettering that announces "The Squall" as a comedy-drama of Old Spain by Jean Bart. The image of Marie Antoinette Sarlabous, the female lead, is prominently displayed, her expression conveying a sense of determination and strength. The background of the poster is adorned with ominous clouds, symbolizing the impending storm and the turmoil of the play's plot. The title, "The Squall," is suggestive of the tempestuous nature of the production. This evocative image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the New Deal era, a time of political and social change. The Federal Theatre Project played a significant role in the American arts scene, providing employment opportunities and bringing live theatre to communities across the country. This print serves as a reminder of the power of the arts to entertain, inspire, and unite.
