The grand entrance to the former La Scala cinema on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. This building was originally a warehouse, but like a surprsingly large number of other buildings on the same street, it was converted into a cinema at the start of the 20th Century. It opened in 1912 and closed in 1984. It has been home to a Waterstones bookshop since the 1990s.

started an English-language article on Italian dancer, teacher, Malvina Cavallazzi (c1852-1924): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malvina_ She was known for her "travesti" roles, incl Faust, Orfeo, Antony, Edmond Dantés... so I guess there are US states she couldn't perform in now.
