Louise Brooks' films were shown all around the world in the 1920s and
1930s, including in Hungary. In my search to document all things
related to the actress and her legacy, I have come across all kinds of interesting material in languages which I don't read.
Can any good soul translate or summarize this clipping from a Hungarian newspaper? It seems to be a sort of "people in the news" feature like those we see today.
By the way, to the left of Louise Brooks is Bruno Walter (1876 – 1962), is the German-born pianist and composer widely considered to be one of the great conductors of the 20th century. Földes Bandi, pictured at the top of the piece, was a musical prodigy who played the piano. I couldn't find anything more about him for certain, though he may be the same young Jewish man who died at Auschwitz. I have not been able to identify the man to the right of Louise Brooks. Can anyone?

I'll post this on FB as well, but (thanks to Google Translate and a few websites) it looks like a blurb about her starring in "Prix de Beaute".
