EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Comedy by Leonard Ide: A Vintage Playbill from the 12th St. Theatre in Oakland, CA, during the 1930s This playbill invites us to a performance of "These Few Ashes," a comedy by Leonard Ide, presented at the 12th St. Theatre in Oakland, California, during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), brought this production to life as part of its mission to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never experienced them before. The Federal Theatre Project was established in 1935 as a significant component of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, a series of programs designed to provide relief and employment during the Great Depression. This playbill is a testament to the cultural and artistic heritage of the United States during this era, showcasing the political and social context of the time. The design of the playbill is simple yet elegant, with bold lettering and a striking image of an urn at its center. The text is arranged in a clear and organized manner, providing essential information about the play, the performers, and the theater itself. The use of color and contrast adds visual interest, making this playbill an attractive and engaging piece of graphic design. As we examine this vintage playbill from the Library of Congress, we are transported back in time to an era of political and artistic innovation, when the power of live theater brought communities together and offered a momentary escape from the harsh realities of the Great Depression.
