6 June 1958 - U.S. journalist Mary Wynne's column 'Carrossel' or São Paulo 'Mary' go-round - at OESP lasted around 20 years. She wrote mainly about night-clubs and the night-life in a city that wasn't New York but never slept either. She wrote a Portuguese heavily laced with English words put between inverted comas. Here she writes about singers falling ill lateley: 'Infelizmente há uma epidemia de operações entre os nossos artistas. Estão se recuperando de operações de apendicite as cantoras Mary Gonçalves (A Baiuca) e Clea Soares (Oasis). Ouvi dizer que Johnny Alf também será operado'; at African Boite on Av. Brigadeiro Luiz Antonio, 1099, Conjunto Farroupilha sang every night.
At Teatro Cultura Artística's Pequeno Auditório, Dercy Gonçalves played 'Dona Violante Miranda' to packed houses; at the Great Auditorium in the same Cultura Artística, Milton Moraes headed a great cast including Yolanda Cardoso, in Michael Vincenzo Gazzo's 'Juventude sem dono' (A hatful of rain) directed by Danilo Bastos and his Teatro Moderno de Comédia; Nelson Rodrigues's 'Vestido de noiva' at Teatro Bela Vista with Nydia Licia, Carlos Zara, Wanda Kosmo e Ruth de Souza.
Maria Della Costa as Joan of Arc in Jean Anouilh's 'O canto da cotovia' ('L'Alouette' or 'The Lark'). 'L'Alouette' was first staged in France in 1952. In 1955, 'The Lark' was presented on Broadway in English, starring Julie Harris as Joan and Boris Karloff as Pierre Cauchon.
