EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Lady of Letters, San Diego, 1938," showcases an elegant woman holding a playbill outside the Savoy Theatre, adorned in academic apparel. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) established in 1935, is responsible for this cultural event. The project aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The Lady of Letters is seen wearing a mortarboard hat and a graduation gown, embodying the academic spirit of the production. The playbill in her hand proudly displays the title "Savoy Theatre...Up to the Minute Collegiate Comedy - Lady of Letters." The soft furnishings, curtains, and stage design can be glimpsed through the theatre's windows, hinting at the allure and excitement of the performance inside. The 1930s were a pivotal time in American history, with the New Deal initiatives like the Federal Theatre Project playing a significant role in uplifting the country during the Great Depression. This photograph is a testament to the power of arts and culture in bringing people together and providing a moment of escape and enjoyment. The intricate lettering on the playbill adds to the graphic design appeal, making this a striking piece of heritage art that transports us back to a bygone era.
