Administration Canary Progress
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster announces the presentation of the classic comedy-thriller, "The Cat and the Canary," produced by the Federal Theatre Project at the Pickering Park Playhouse in San Bernardino, California. The image showcases a mischievous and devilish-looking cat gazing intently at a caged canary, its piercing eyes hinting at an underlying sinister intent. The poster's design embodies the intrigue and suspense that lies within the play's plot, as the cat represents the ominous presence of an inheritance hunter, and the canary symbolizes the vulnerable heir. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal administration program, was established in 1935 to provide employment opportunities for actors, writers, and technicians during the Great Depression. The project aimed to make live theatre accessible to the general public, and the presentation of "The Cat and the Canary" at the Pickering Park Playhouse was part of their efforts to bring quality entertainment to communities across the country. The poster's design is a testament to the artistic and creative work produced during this period, as part of the larger Works Progress Administration (WPA) initiative. The poster's vibrant colors, bold typography, and intriguing imagery effectively convey the excitement and anticipation surrounding the production. The Cat and the Canary remains a beloved and enduring piece of American theatre history, and this poster serves as a visual reminder of its rich legacy.
