The image is of a vintage poster for the play "Chalk Dust" as part of Cincinnati's Federal Theatre Project. The background color of the poster appears to be black, with text in white and red colors prominently displayed.

At the top left corner, it reads:
"Emery Walnut - Parkway

NOV 22-28 8:30 P.M.
SEATS 40"
Seats are listed as $25 cents each for a seated area, or possibly more expensive with an extra 'o' at the end. The play's name "Chalk Dust" is in large white letters occupying most of the center and bottom half of the poster.

Below that, it states:
"2ND WEEK BY POPULAR DEMAND"

Further down on the left side, there are additional details about where the performance will take place:
"Cincinnati Federal Theatre
Walnut - Parkway

TICKETS THE HENRY STRAUS CO. INC.
6th WALNUT."

On the right-hand side of the poster is a red dot or circle that could be part of an abstract design, representing either artistic expression or possibly another element related to the play.

Overall, this image portrays a historical theatrical event in Cincinnati from what appears to be during the 1930s-40s era. The Federal Theatre Project was known for its commitment to social issues and progressive causes through theatre productions during that time period of U.S history.
