The Warrior's Husband, a comedy by Julian F. Thompson, pokes fun at Amazon warriors and the men who are left to manage the household. This poster advertises a run at the Hollywood Playhouse in Los Angeles, presented under the Federal theater Project, the New Deal program that employed theater workers across the country. The record dates the poster to 1942, but the project was shut down in 1939, so the date may reflect a later printing or cataloging. Its bold silkscreen color is typical of the project's posters, which were often made cheaply and quickly to promote productions.
