Since 1923, Hermann Haller had been the new tenant of the Admiralspalast in Berlin. His annually changing "Haller Revuen" became real crowd pullers. From 1922 to 1924, Hubbuch stayed in Berlin time and again. Cf. the lithograph "Babbe derf mit in die Haller Revue", 1930, illustrated in: S. Himmelheber und K. Hofmann, Von Thoma bis Hubbuch, Karlsruhe 1991, Abb. 17, Kat.-Nr. 25. [EH].
