Ad for Opening of Sala Badia
|
Beba Ezz el-Din placed this advertisement in the newspaper Al Ahram after she took over ownership of Sala Badia on Emad El Din street and forcibly ousted its original owner, Badia Masabni. The ad announces the opening of Sala Badia under Beba's ownership and promotes the show. Source: Beba Ezz El Din opened this club twice in the same year. The first opening was in March, 1937, as announced in this advertisement when she initially took over the club. At this point Beba still appears to have employed some of Badia's old troupe members. The telephone number is Badia's old number. The second opening was during the normal winter season in October of the same year when all the other clubs opened their doors for winter season as well.
