This original Swedish theatre poster from 1938 promotes the musical comedy revue "Kvällen är min!" starring the beloved Max Hansen at Vasateatern in Stockholm, under the direction of Martha Lundholm. The artwork, signed by Koppel, features a lively and charismatic portrait of Hansen, dressed in a yellow-striped tuxedo, balancing the show’s cast and creative credits on a silver platter — a clever visual pun on the revue's title ("The Evening Is Mine!").
The production featured music by Robert Katscher and a Swedish adaptation by renowned satirist Kar de Mumma (Karl Gerhard). Also appearing were Håkan Westergren, Hilde Nyblom, Käte Schnitzer, Folke Pilo, Carl-Gunnar Wingård, and others, with E. Eckert-Lundin as Kapellmästare (conductor).
This poster is a delightful piece of pre-war Swedish theatrical history, showcasing vibrant design, strong typography, and the rich cabaret culture of 1930s Stockholm. Though it has some small tears at the top and bottom edges, the colors remain vivid, and the piece would look exceptional framed.
