Short story:
Marlene Dietrich plays the first of four consecutive nights at Carnegie Hall, New York City, USA. It is said that during this run of shows the ageing songstress complained to a crew member backstage that there were nazis in the audience and demanded that they should be removed. "Yes, Miss Dietrich," he replied, "but how shall I recognise them?" Unfazed, Dietrich intoned, "They are the ones who are not clapping," before sweeping back out to coninue the show.
