Title: Stage women's war relief

Creator/Contributor: Flagg, James Montgomery, 1877-1960 (artist)

Created/Published: American Lithographic Co, N.Y.

Date issued: 1917

Physical description: 1 print (poster) : lithograph, color

Summary: Image depicts a woman from the Stage Women's War Relief standing on a stage with arm extended.

Genre: War posters

Subjects: Charitable organizations; Actresses; War relief

Notes: On the eve of America's entry into the war, seven women of the theater converged to discuss the possibility of forming an organization to aid in war relief. Two weeks later, people representing all segments of the theater, including the internationally famous, seamstresses, stagehands and producers, packed the Hudson Theater in New York to lean how they could contribute their expertise and time. The Stage Women's War Relief was born and began operation within a few weeks. The organization established workrooms for sewing, food collection centers, and a canteen on Broadway for servicemen. It also began sending entertainers to perform for the troops. Speakers, trained by the organization, were very successful in promoting the Liberty Loan Campaigns.
