The musical concerts of the "Hamburg Symphony Orchestra" ended on the fifth of August, and all eyes turned toward Jean Marchat's company, which was to occupy the courtyards of the Baalbek temples after it... Three plays were announced: "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare, "La Machine Infernale" by Jean Cocteau, and "Mithridate" by Racine.

Worth mentioning is that the famous French author Jean Cocteau, winner of the "Nobel" Prize, came from France especially to see his play, which enjoyed the greatest currency and success in acting and production. Among the prominent members of "Jean Marchat's company": Jeanne Moreau and Germaine Montero — and its performances concluded on August 18.
