A bright 1937 silkscreen announces a "Tuneful Musical Hit" and "Vodvil Frolic" billed as direct from Hollywood, and its record ties the show to Colton, California. It was issued under the Federal theater Project, a unit of the Works Progress Administration that employed out-of-work actors, musicians and stagehands from 1935 to 1939. Road attractions like this one brought live entertainment to small towns that rarely saw touring companies, and silkscreen printing let the project produce large runs of posters in vivid flat color at low cost.
