The well known star Taheya Carioca made a surprise visit to the 16th Industrial and Agricultural Exhibition last week. Accompanying her on this visit was the star Faten Hamama and her husband the movie director Ezzeldin Zou El Fakar, the monologist Soraya Helmi and the dancer Mimi Zaki. On these two pages we have captured part of that.

The elegant arrangement of the Naboulsi Farouk booth drew their attention, and curiosity about the manufacturing process led them over there. Taheya confided to Soraya how much her very black hair and her soft skin had benefited from the regular use of Naboulsi Farouk.

At the Egyptian Camel Jewelry Company's exhibit, Taheya bought a rare collection of jewelry to wear in her new films. The star Faten Hamama and her husband the director Ezzel din Zou el Fakar helped her select what she needed, while Soraya and Mimi chose a wonderful Kerdan necklace.

The Ramadan Shehata Ahmed Factories exhibit attracted quite a bit of the stars' attention. They found what they were looking for there: the latest selection of leather bags. They all agreed that the toilette bag is a miracle of beauty, attractiveness and elegance, and it demonstrated just how advanced Ramadan Shehata's products are.
