This is an original Third Reich Programmheft or program booklet for the Residenz Theater in Munich, the Capital of the Nazi Movement. The center page is the program for the play Schwarzbrot und Kipfel (Black Bread and Croissant) by Werner von der Schulenburg on Saturday night 8 August 1936. The Lustspiel or comedy in three acts featured Gustav Waldau, Gusti Kreißel, Ernst Fritz Fürbringer, Karl Graumann and others.

Werner von der Schulenburg was a German author and Italian translator who had lived in Italy and the Italian speaking part of Switzerland since 1919. He translated many Italian plays in to German, including one from 1932 by Benito Mussolini. In the early 1940s he was a paid agent for the Reichssicherheitshauptamt in Rome from where he supplied the Security Service of Reichsführer-SS Himmler in Berlin with important information about Italian politicians and military personnel. Werner von der Schulenburg's play Schwarzbrot und Kipfel is still one of the most performed comedies in Germany!

This 6 x 9 inch, 16 page program with a 60 mm round swastika on the cover contains information and articles on other plays performed during the 1936 season at the Residenztheater in dowtown Munich with photos of actors, scenes from plays and parts of their text.

The heavily illustrated 85+ year old program also contains very interesting period advertising from beer halls, Munich fashion stores, banks, opticians, restaurants, even a company offering scenic airplane flights over Munich for 6 Reichsmarks (about US$ 2.40) per person. The Hackerbräu beer hall on the Theresienhöhe advertises a daily military music concert, weather permitting!

Complete and in very nice used condition and absolutely original to the Third Reich. No odor.
