Marlene Dietrich, as The Ringmaster

Miss Dietrich, the eternally alluring, the woman of glamour, dares alternately to tear down the public's glamourous notions and then to rebuild them. She showed herself in a movie washing her teeth, arrived in the front lines during the war in slacks and a shirt, and changed to a beaded sheath when she sang. She wheeled her grandchildren to the park, and then recently at a benefit performance of the circus at Madison Square Garden startled the audience when she walked out (for only one night) as The Ringmaster. In this costume, which she artfully designed, she appeared in the dark immensity, with only a massive spotlight picking up the red of her coat, the diamond studs, the shining boots, the silk hat tipped to the side. Taking the microphone, she said to the entranced audience in a dark, warm, cavernous voice, "Hel-looo," adding affectionately, "Are you having any fun?" While Dynamite, "the only horse in the world able to gallop backwards," galloped backwards, some thirty photographers concentrated entirely on the lure of Miss Dietrich.
