A newspaper report from her visit recorded that"For Marlene Dietrich, 'the rain in Puerto Rico is more beautiful than anywhere else.' Last Saturday, the actress was shopping in San Juan when that torrential downpour hit, soaking half the world. Marlene took off her shoes and hat on Cristo Street and continued walking and shopping around the streets of San Juan. She got soaked, had a few rum drinks in cafes and bars, and spent $1,500 on gifts, souvenirs, and clothing. She bought a gift to take to José Ferrer in Hollywood, and another one for his wife, Rosemary Clooney."

From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
