Una imagen de rara espontaneidad, como si los invitados hubiesen sido interrumpidos en medio de una amena charla sentados en torno a una paquetona mesa en comodos sillones de mimbre o caña de la india . Los salones del "Majestic", hoy convertido en una aburrida oficina publica llena de archivos, papeles, sellos, empleados y contribuyentes, desbordan de gente y musica y nos cuenta trabajo imaginar que sus columnatas fueron el regio marco del paso de un Nijinsky, y que en sus habitaciones -del 3º piso- pergeñara su casamiento con Romola; consumado luego a muy pocas cuadras de alli, en la Iglesia San Miguel, ubicada en la esquina de Suipacha y Bartolomé Mitre, de Buenos Aires
"Buenos Aires es una mezcla de París, Madrid y Bruselas", escribia por entonces Romola, quien acaso no hubiera pensado jamas que una ciudad asi existiera en los confines de Sudamerica. Pero claro, eran otros tiempos...

Marlene Dietrich Cocktail Ingredients
Method Shake well and strain into a wineglass. Squeeze orange and lemon peel on top. Notes Born in Berlin, Marlene Dietrich found international fame in Hollywood, starring in classics such as The Blue Angel (1930) and Morocco (1930) as a sultry temptress. Her longevity as an actress is demonstrated by the fact that her last leading man was David Bowie in Just a Gigolo (1979). She worked alongside the greats of cinema like Cary Grant, Gary Cooper and James Stewart. She was adept at playing show girls, prostitutes and international women of mystery. When the Second World War started, Hitler asked her to return to Germany. Dietrich remained in the US and went on propaganda tours for the Allies in Europe. After her film career went down the proverbial toilet she hit the cabaret houses and attracted audiences around the world with her husky renditions of her most famous songs like 'See What the Boys in the Back Room will Have' and 'Falling in Love Again'. When she died, a few days before the Cannes Film Festival, the French decided to honour her by unveiling a huge photograph of her to open the festival. It was enormous and drew gasps, and a few tears, from the crowd. |
