Eddie and Tracy visit the famous bookstore El Ateneo

Eddie and Tracy visited El Ateneo at 1860 Santa Fe Ave.  in Barrio Norte. The building was designed for Max Blucksman (1874-1946) by architects Peró and Torres Armengol. It was originally called Teatro Gran Splendid when it opened in May of 1919. The theater had a seating capacity of 1,050 and Carlos Gardel performed there.

During Glucksman's Natcional Odeón made early recording of many great tango singers. However in the late 1920s the theater became a cinema and is the site where the first sound films were screened in Argentina in 1929.

The building was converted into a book, movie and DVD store in 2000.The stage now serves as a cafe.

El Ateneo is over 100 years old, but still much younger than Eddie and Tracy.
