Yes, NUMMISUUTARIT is Werbe-Grotesk. Thank you all for the tip.

I haven’t yet found what font is ’Elokuvanäytäntö’; it might be lettering…

Looks all like letterpress type and borders to me—the headlines probably in wood type. If one takes the time to go through all the European wood type from that time, it’s probably possible to find it.

I found the Schelter-Antiqua in Walden Font.

Werbe-Grotesk I haven’t been able to found; probably no one sells it…
