(An audience is watching a less than distinguished movie
[in both the original London and New York productions
of EVITA a clip from one of Eva Peron's own movies
was used]. The soundtrack dialogue is in Spanish, the
music melodramatic. Suddenly the film grinds to a halt.
The people in the cinema begin to protest but are
silenced by an announcement)
THE VOICE OF THE SECRETARY OF THE PRESS
(in Spanish) It is the sad duty of the Secretary of the
Press... (in English) ...to inform the people of Argentina
that Eva Peron, spiritual leader of the nation, entered
immortality at 20.25 hours today.
