EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from George Bernard Shaw's "The Devil's Disciple," performed at the Great Northern Theatre in Chicago during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), brought live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this cultural event. The WPA was established in 1935 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and to enrich the country's cultural heritage. This playbill design, featuring a bold and graphic representation of Mr. Bernard Shaw's face with a devilish mask, showcases the political and artistic spirit of the era. The text on the poster announces the production of "The Devil's Disciple" by George Bernard Shaw, with no mention of the specific company mounting the production. The colorful and intricately designed lettering, reminiscent of the Art Deco style popular during the 1930s, adds to the overall allure of the poster. This image is a testament to the rich history of American performing arts and the enduring impact of the New Deal's efforts to bring arts and culture to the masses. The Federal Theatre Project's legacy continues to inspire and influence the design and lettering of contemporary playbills and posters, making it an essential piece of heritage art in the Library of Congress collection.
