Description of Algerian Theatre in the Dream City Portfolio
The description of the Algerian Village that accompanied this picture in the offical Dream City Portfolio described Papa Ganon (probably Ela Ganon) as the builder of the theatre, and claimed that the "oriental dances, as performed here, were in no sense disorderly or vulgar, for the dancer scarcely lifted her feet from the floor, and her flowing skirts were fastened about her ankles."
