This is the translation of an advertisement promoting Casino Ezz el-Din, which was owned by Mary Ezz el-Din and Youssef Ezz el-Din. It is unclear what the relationship was between Mary and Youssef. The newspaper clipping used for this translation was undated, but it is estimated to be from the 1930's.
