...indication of the restlessness beneath the authoritarian veneer was the scene last week as the government freed the country's last civilian President, Maria Estela Martinez de Perón, 49, after five years of detention. A onetime cabaret dancer, she assumed power after the death in 1974 of her husband, Dictator Juan Domingo Perón, but proved to be woefully incompetent and was jailed in 1976 by the military junta for misusing public property. The military finally arranged her release to remove a rallying point for her still loyal followers, who remain the most potent civilian political...
When she started, in Switzerland in the mid-1930s, she was Just a Gigolette, one of Seven Beauties singing in a Cabaret. Then Lale Andersen stumbled onto a discarded piece of Great War schmaltz, a soldier's love song called Lili Marleen. As German soldiers swarmed over the globe in 1939, they carried this song with them. Lale became a star-for a time, the darling of the Third Reich -and Lili Marleen the song of her life...
DIED. George Voskovec, 76, Czech-born character actor, director and playwright who was best known in the U.S. for such Broadway roles as Einstein in The Physicists (1964) and Herr Schultz in Cabaret (1968); in Pearblossom, Calif.

If financial troubles--like a projected deficit this season and looming, savage cutbacks in federal aid--do not bite too deeply, and the ART makes strides towards getting more students into the Loeb--perhaps by further reducing the price of the already dirt-cheap student pass--future seasons are likely to show that Brustein and Harvard were prescient in teaming...
...Nazis hadn't existed, moviemakers of the '70s might have invented them. The whips and whimpers, the glistening boots, the macho marching songs, the sado-chic -my dear, the divine decadence. It's all so terribly cinematic. Cabaret and The Night Porter set the stage; Just a Gigolo lights it in elegant chiaroscuro and populates it with every species of eccentric known to Weimar Berlin. Marlene Dietrich (her first film since 1964) intones the title song. David Bowie makes love to Kim Novak in a cemetery. David Hemmings (who also directed) plays a Nazi who turns Bowie...
