Children are the subject named on the caption card for this print, which documents a Federal theater Project production under the Works Progress Administration, the New Deal agency that employed artists and performers during the Great Depression. The Federal theater Project ran from 1935 to 1939 under Hallie Flanagan and staged plays in New York City, Chicago and other cities, with children's theater among its offerings. The date is given only as 193-, and the record flags its caption information as unverified, so the exact production and location remain uncertain. The photoprint is credited to Dick Rose.
