The Fourth Folk Dance Festival

• All Beirut marched, on Saturday, May 22, to the field of the American University to attend the fourth folk dance festival. It seems that the success which attended this festival last year had not been effaced from the minds of the people, who flocked from every quarter to watch, so that the number present was estimated at seven thousand persons or more...

Eighteen schools from among Lebanon's institutions of learning took part in the folk dance festival, and it was a quasi-competition among these institutions in the perfecting of the dances and in artistry in the loose, folk-style costumes. The grass field seemed to surge with bright colors, and the youthful bodies swayed in their unified rhythmic movements, in a way that commanded the utmost admiration and appreciation.

"The Woman's Voice" offers its thanks and praise to the teaching body entrusted with the direction of this festival, for the great and praiseworthy effort it expended toward reviving and refreshing this beautiful folk dancing and presenting it at this degree of splendor and perfection.
