For his skill in lithographs such as this, Richard Beatty was hired as an instructor when Karamu formed a graphic arts program around 1933. While teaching himself lithography at night, Beatty portrayed theater and cabaret scenes using dense, expressive lines with a waxy crayon. Theater was immensely popular in Cleveland when Richard Beatty made this print.
