Caffe Cino Pictures

Odds and Ends » Countess Ruth Yorck

German countess RUTH YORCK (author, Lullaby for a Dying Man, Cino, 1964) lived on the same block as the Cino. She had fought for modern cinema, painting, and music in Europe, and in America for the U.S. to enter WWII. Her wisdom and spirit inspired us. Her girlhood portrait by Kokoschka hung above her mantel.

H.M. KOUTOUKAS affected a "twee" personality, but was deep-down shrewd. He sold ads on a 1964Cino program!
Most shows played on the floor, some on a small, slightly raised stage against one wall. But some (LANFORD WILSON's Home Free and The Madness of Lady Bright, l. and r.above) were done on a high, wall-to-wall stage across the middle of the room. Audiences and waiters had to go up stairs, across the stage, and down stairs to reach the bathroom, kitchen, and half the tables. Waiter CHARLES STANLEY (c.above) met this challenge with daring balletic leaps when orders were many and showtime near. 'Lady Bright' Photo by JAMES D. GOSSAGE.
