[2] In 1922 the influence of the company of Madame Rasimi and her Ba-Ta-Clán, arrived from Paris, established the structure of the Buenos Aires revue.

[2] Arias learned his art among the founders of Argentine theater, such as Luis Arata and Enrique Da Rosas.

He also played serious roles, and earned the Municipal Award for best dramatic actor for his performance in Ovid by Laurent Doillet at the Odeon Theatre in 1942.

[4] In 1956 Arias said that political jokes were a basic element of revues in Buenos Aires, and he had never had real problems.

[1] He called politics a gentleman's game (juego de caballeros), which the public always understood, as did the governments of Yrigoyen, Alvear, Uriburu, Justo, Ortiz and Castillo.

[2] His last film was La señora del intendente (1967) by Armando Bó, released after his death, where he looked tired beside Isabel Sarli.
