Here is an excerpt from an article in the Bradford (PA) Era dated 3/11/46:
Cairo (AP)– A woman was killed and 30 persons were injured when a time bomb exploded last night |in the Miami Movie Theater in downtown Cairo. The explosion occurred during the playing of the Egyptian national anthem and threw the audience into a panic. Crowds massed around the theater as the injured, including some British soldiers, were carried out.
An unusual view from 1991:
