Advertising a production billed as an intriguing comedy drama, this 1942 silkscreen poster promotes *Twilight of the theater* in Los Angeles. The Federal theater Project, a unit of the Works Progress Administration, is credited as its sponsor. The WPA poster units used silkscreen to produce bold, flat areas of color in quantity, which gave their theater notices a striking graphic punch. That combination of inexpensive printing and strong design is one reason these posters still stand out today.
