EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1938, showcases the Eastern Exchange Hotel in Port Said, Egypt, proudly advertising two upcoming film screenings. The hotel, located on Fuad el-Awal Street, also known as Boulevard Eugenie, was a popular destination for travelers and locals alike. The marquee outside the hotel announces the arrival of the Goldwyn Follies film and a Ritz Brothers film. The Goldwyn Follies was a series of musical revues produced by Samuel Goldwyn, a major player in the Hollywood film industry. The Ritz Brothers, a famous American comedy act, were known for their slapstick humor and vaudeville-style performances. Their films were a staple of movie theaters during the 1930s. The Egyptian town of Port Said, located at the southern entrance of the Suez Canal, was a bustling hub of international trade and travel during this time. The Eastern Exchange Hotel, with its elegant Art Deco design and prime location, would have been the perfect venue for such high-profile film screenings. The advertisement attracts a crowd of excited onlookers, eagerly anticipating an evening of entertainment. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich cultural exchange between the East and West during the 1930s. It also highlights the important role that hotels played in facilitating travel and providing entertainment for visitors to exotic destinations.
