Two A Day,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating playbill from the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles, California, dates back to 1938. This intriguing piece of American heritage is an allegorical representation of the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The project aimed 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 such cultural events. The playbill announces a double bill featuring "Something to Boast About!" and "Run Little Chillun," both performing at the Hollywood Playhouse. The graphic design is a striking blend of bold lettering and allegorical figures. An allegorical figure of Uncle Sam, personified as a top-hatted, striped figure, proudly boasts about the Federal Theatre Project's achievements. The use of monochrome, with its black and white contrast, adds to the vintage appeal of this historical artifact. The Federal Theatre Project's influence on the performing arts during the 1930s was significant. It provided a platform for various artistic schools and allowed for the exploration of new and innovative forms of drama. This playbill is a testament to the project's impact on the cultural landscape of the United States, showcasing the power of the arts to engage, entertain, and inspire. This unique and intriguing piece of American history, from the Library of Congress, is a visual representation of the New Deal's commitment to preserving and promoting the arts during a time when they were essential for lifting the spirits of the nation. The unknown artist's design is a timeless reminder of the power of the arts to bring people together and create a sense of community.
