A theatre in downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America putting on a live ‘review’ performance c. 1955. Advertised on a giant colourful hoarding or billboard above the entrance was a variety show by the ‘Gran Compania de Revistas Comicas’ (‘Great Comic Magazine Company’) with ‘leggy’ dancers prominently featured. Star billing went to Ary Barroso (1903–1964), the well-known Brazilian composer and pianist. He was one of the country’s most successful songwriters in the first half of the 20th century, composing many songs for artists like Carmen Miranda – a vintage 1950s photograph.
