This is an Egyptian 27" x 39" poster made by an unknown designer to
promote the 1962 Helmy Rafla musical Almaz and Abdul Hamulli
starring Warda al-Gazaeria as Almaz. Plot Summary: Almaz was a simple
building worker who became one of the brightest singing stars during
the time of the Khedive Ismail (1863-1879). She was encouraged by the
great singer Abdul Hamuli [Adel Ma'mun] who introduced her to those
who controlled the profession. Meanwhile her childhood friend Salem
went to Sudan with the Egyptian army. The khedive liked her and
wanted her to be his alone, so he ordered that she be maintained in
his palace. Almaz agreed to grant him her voice but not her body,
despite his promises and threats. Then he accepted the advice of one
of the men around him that he should allow her to marry Abdul Hamuli,
thinking the great singer would not refuse to allow his master the
khedive to try out his young wife when he asked for her. However
after the marriage Abdul Hamuli did not allow her to sing anything but
verses from the Koran, so the khedive ordered that there be no
cooperation with the two singers. Then the revolutionary movement
spread among the young people led by Salem. Abdul Hamuli and Almaz
joined them; this ended with the fall of the khedive and his ouster
from the country.
