EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage playbill for the production of "Bird of Paradise" at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles during 1938. The play was presented as part 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 this cultural event. The playbill's design reflects the exotic and tropical theme of the production, with the title "Bird of Paradise" written in bold, colorful letters at the top. The image below features a woman wearing a bikini-like swimsuit, surrounded by palm trees and palms, evoking the spirit of Hawaii and the indigenous peoples of the islands. The background is adorned with intricate, native-inspired patterns and lettering, further emphasizing the show's cultural heritage. The Federal Theatre Project was a significant part of the New Deal, a political and economic initiative designed to provide relief during the Great Depression. The project not only provided employment opportunities for theater workers but also introduced many Americans to the performing arts, fostering a deeper appreciation for this art form. This photograph, as a snapshot of this historical moment, serves as a reminder of the rich cultural and artistic legacy of the United States during the 1930s.
