Entertainment Listings for Badia Masabi and Rushdie Sisters
|
The newspaper Al Ahram featured a weekly entertainment listing column titled "Where Will You Go Tonight?" which highlighted some of Cairo's better entertainment for the weekend. Interestingly, Taheya Carioca was dancing at the Rushdie sisters' nightclub instead of Badia Masabni's, and even more interestingly she was listed almost last, even after Zozo Labeb. This indicates that this was early in her career, and she had not attained star status yet. ABOUT THE PHOTO: The Rushdie Sisters, were the owners of Casino Rateba and Ensaf Rushdie.
