It's a cabaret, there's many versions of this poster
The artist is Théophile Alexandre Steinlen.
Theophile. Someone who really loves Theo.
Theophilus. Someone who really loves two Theos
Most people call him Phil
And Theo means God in Greek. Godloving, theophile.
I had this one as a fridge magnet!
Such a wonderful illustration.
