Administration Angeles Chocolate Federal Presents Progress Project
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster announces a performance of "The Chocolate Soldier" presented by the Los Angeles Federal Music Project at the Santa Ana High School Auditorium in California. Dating between 1936 and 1939, this cultural initiative was part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal program designed to provide employment and promote arts and culture during the Great Depression. The poster's captivating image features a woman and a soldier in a tender embrace, with the soldier's uniform adorned with the insignia of a chocolate soldier. This symbolism likely refers to the original title of the operetta, "Chocolat," which premiered in 1915 and was later renamed "The Chocolate Soldier." The Chocolate Soldier is a lighthearted operetta in three acts, with music by Leon Jessel and a libretto by Fritz Lowe and Julius Brammer. The story revolves around the romantic entanglements of a wealthy woman and a soldier, set against the backdrop of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Los Angeles Federal Music Project's presentation of "The Chocolate Soldier" was a testament to the power of art and music to uplift and inspire, particularly during challenging economic times. The WPA's emphasis on cultural programs like this one helped to foster a sense of community and hope, bringing people together through shared experiences and the universal language of music. This poster serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative role that the arts can play in our lives, and the enduring impact of initiatives like the WPA on American culture.
