EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a vintage playbill for the production of "Help Yourself" by Paul Vulpius, presented by the Federal Theatre Project in Syracuse, New York, in 1936. Established in 1935 as part of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA), the Federal Theatre 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 this art form. The playbill, featuring bold, red and cream-colored letters, showcases the Western Script typeface, popular during the 1930s. The title "Help Yourself" is written in black, with the subtitle "A Play in Three Acts" in smaller red text beneath. The image of a hand reaching out for an apple, with the caption "Self Help," is a powerful visual representation of the play's theme. The playhouse and location are not specified, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The Federal Theatre Project, under the direction of Hans Adler, was a significant part of America's cultural heritage during the 1930s. This photograph print is a testament to the political and social importance of theater during this era, and serves as a reminder of the power of art to bring communities together and uplift the spirit.
