Frame

Bold yellow typography dominates this theatrical poster for Avery Hopwood's comedy The Alarm Clock. Set against a deep blue-gray field, the dramatically angled title is paired with a bandaged foot emerging from a checked trouser leg, creating an immediate sense of movement and comic mishap.

Produced in California between 1936 and 1938 for a Federal Theatre Project presentation at the Mason Opera House, the poster combines economical color, geometric lettering and playful illustration in the distinctive graphic language of WPA-era design.
