EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster announces the presentation of the three-act Yiddish folk comedy "Dus Groise Gevins" (The 200,000) by the renowned author Sholem Aleichem, produced by the Federal Theatre Project at Memorial High School in Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1938. The image on the poster features three men intently focused on their sewing, their faces expressing a mix of determination and amusement. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal initiative, was established to provide employment for unemployed actors, stagehands, and technicians, as well as to bring live theater to underserved communities. This production of "Dus Groise Gevins" was part of the project's efforts to promote cultural diversity and progress through the arts. Sholem Aleichem's works, written primarily in Yiddish, were known for their humor and insight into the lives of Eastern European Jewish communities. "Dus Groise Gevins" tells the story of three impoverished men who scheme to win the affections of wealthy women by pretending to be wealthy themselves. The play's comedic exploration of the human condition resonated with audiences during the Great Depression, offering a moment of escape and joy. This poster, with its bold typography and evocative image, serves as a testament to the power of the arts to bring people together and uplift spirits, even in the most challenging of times.
