The Gala of the Zahle Women's Renaissance Society

Many have been talking of late about the grandeur of the "new Wadi Casino" in Zahle. Some say it is the most splendid pleasure garden in Lebanon; others affirm that in its beauty and the excellence of its service it rivals the world's foremost resorts.

The "Zahle Women's Renaissance" society did well to choose this casino for its great annual gala this year, on Thursday evening, August 16 last.

The gala was under the patronage and supervision of Mr. Najib Hankash, given the place this delightfully witty personality holds in the hearts of one and all. Outstanding artistic talents took part in the gala, foremost among them the famous Lebanese singer Wadih al-Safi, the darling of the stage Nadia Chamoun, and the artiste Ghada.

The gala proved a success in every way, thanks to the energy of the members of the Zahle Women's Renaissance, headed by Mrs. Muneera Shehadeh. We wish the association every success.
