EDITORS COMMENTS
This print advertisement hails from the 1930s, showcasing an announcement for two exciting events taking place at the San Jose Civic Auditorium. The first event, "Help Yourself" by Paul Vulpius, is a fast-moving comedy in three acts presented by the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The FTP was established in 1935 to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ artists on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States, many of which had never before experienced such cultural events. The playbill for "Help Yourself" is accompanied by an advertisement for a dance featuring the Royal Commanders Orchestra, creating a 3-in-1 attraction. These attractions were sponsored by the San Jose Night Ball Association and Recreation Commission. Seats for the shows were available for purchase at Lion's Music Salon. The graphic design of this advertisement, with its bold text and vibrant colors, effectively conveys the excitement and energy of the upcoming performances. The design is attributed to various artists, including Hans Adler, Ladislas Fodor, Laszlo Lakatos, and Paul Vulpius, although the creator remains unknown. This poster serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and the importance of the New Deal programs in preserving and promoting the arts.
