The poster announces *The Devil Passes* as a road show attraction, billed as coming directly from a sensational Los Angeles run and set for Santa Barbara, California. The record credits the play to Benn W. Levy, the English playwright whose name appears here. The Federal theater Project, a New Deal relief program, sponsored the production in 1936 to bring live drama to communities beyond the largest cities. Silkscreen printing let the WPA arts projects produce bold, inexpensive color posters that could be put up quickly across a town.
