Cine Argentino, No. 179

# Correo Argentino, October 9, 1941

This Argentine entertainment weekly contains gossip and lifestyle features focused on cinema and local personalities. A satirical piece mocks Argentine film actors' inability to inspire the passionate devotion of female admirers—specifically, the failure of stars like Florent Delbene and Justo José Traballo to drive women to suicide, contrasting their merely admiration-generating presence with the romantic intensity of European cinema. The issue includes lifestyle coverage of starlets engaging in motorcycling: Zully Moreno specialized in high-speed cornering at 130 km/hour, while Berta Aliana and Iris Portillo prefer leisurely sidecar rides. An extended interview with actress Elsa del Campillo reveals her dual life—glamorous film vampire in Carlos Schliepper's EFA production, tender mother to her young son at home. The magazine also runs a Charles Atlas bodybuilding advertisement and Palmolive soap promotion featuring the Canadian Dionne quintuplets. An interview with actor Norberto Quelín discusses his film roles, including "Mandinga en la Sierra," and his early theatrical experiences in France.
