EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a playbill for the production of "The Treasure" at the Musart Theatre in Los Angeles during 1937. The creator of this artwork remains unknown, but the playbill is attributed to David Pinsky [sic] and was directed by Adolph Freeman. The play was presented in both Yiddish and English, reflecting the diverse cultural landscape of the time. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), is credited for the creation of this theatrical event. Established in 1935, the Federal Theatre Project aimed 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. The graphic design of the playbill is a testament to the era's political and artistic climate. The bold Hebrew text, along with the English translation, highlights the importance of preserving cultural heritage. The colorful and intricate lettering adds to the allure of the theatrical production, inviting audiences to attend and be a part of this unique cultural event. This playbill serves as an essential piece of American heritage art, showcasing the rich history of the performing arts during the 1930s. The New Deal initiative brought together artists, writers, and performers to create a vibrant and inclusive cultural scene, providing a much-needed source of inspiration and entertainment during a challenging time in American history.
