My name is Leif Juster, and I am a Norwegian actor, singer, comedian and

theatre manager. I am Norway’s undisputed cabaret king and spider’s

(Edderkoppen’s) father.

Originally, the planner of St Olav’s Plass, City architect Georg Andreas

Bull’s residence was located here. This villa was built in 1860 after Bull’s

design. It was demolished in the 1930s and replaced by the functionalist

building which stands here today. This new building hosted apartment

houses and was designed by the architects Jarle Berg and Antti Norrgren.

Check out the corner of St. Olavs place 1. The Gildevangen Kaffistove

og Delikatesseforretning were both located here for a couple of years in

1941 and 1942. From 1943, Kaffistove moved to St. Olavs place 3, whilst

the Delicatessen business continued in St. Olavs place 1.

I got my big break at Scala in 1935 in the autumn show «We have the honour»

and in 1937 I joined the Chat Noir at Klingenberggata 5.

During the war, when I was the revue actor’s trustee in the Actors’ Association,

I spent a few months at Grini prison. This followed the actor strike

in May 1941 when we refused to present material by the Nazis. In autumn

1942, the first Revue Theater Edderkoppen was born in the Søilen Teater

at Keysers gate, south of St Olavs Plass. We moved to St Olavs Plass into

larger premises in 1945.

If you check the page to the left you’ll see an advert for the Edderkoppen.

Sissel Lie, daughter of the first UN Secretary General, Trygve

Lie, like many other women, made several photo albums during the World

War II documenting the everyday life within the women’s army corps.

Sissel evacuated to the UK with her family early in the war, and on July 24,

1942, the exile government established military

service to all Norwegian women abroad.

Lie was enrolled in the Norwegian Army

Women’s Corps on August 5 of the

same year.

After the war ended in 1945, I moved

my EdderkoppenTheater to the new

venue on St. Olavs Plass where it ran it

until it sadly went bankrupt in 1966.

At the theatre’s best, in addition to

the theatrical plays, we show cased

dancing and various other events. I

wasn’t considered the Cabaret King

of Norway without good reason you

know!!
