The People's China Troupe at UNESCO

On November 9, 1957, the acrobatic troupe of People's China opened the artistic season on the stage of the UNESCO Palace in Beirut. The seats were crowded with spectators — official personalities, notables, journalists, and young people. The troupe excelled in its numbers, and especially in the scene "The Flower of the Isle of Rhodes."

In this thirsting rush toward the arts, and amid the flood of applause and admiration, our faith grew stronger that we have won a victory, and won love, for our new theater as it grows.
