714 1 "Zentralbad" - there used to be a lot more public baths.
I have actually never been to one, though I'm old enough to have.
Bet they were fun.
Of course, another difference today is a lot more
people have private baths...
714 37 "Ausgerechnet Bananen" - anachronism, in our world,
where the composer* wrote that as an adaptation of
"Yes, we have no bananas" (1923)
whereas Theign in Vienna at this point
in the book = flashback to 1905.

moment of silence for the sorrows of the 20th century
in ATD and in "reality"
...will finish glossing this page and proceed further Monday night,
smoochie-boochies to anybody reading
and especially to anybody posting...
