The audience included officials, working people, youth and students in Pyongyang.

Performances of artistes from South Hwanghae and Kangwon provinces were given at the Ponghwa Art Theatre and the Pyongyang Grand Theatre.

Through famous songs including "Song of Mangyongdae" and "People Sing of April Holiday", the performers impressively showed that the whole life of President Kim Il Sung born as the son of the working people at the low-roofed thatched house in Mangyongdae was the one of believing in the people as in Heaven.

Members of art groups from across the country, who have conducted brisk mass-based culture and art activities true to the Party's intention to make art prevail throughout the country and popularize art, gave their performances at the East Pyongyang Grand Theatre and the Central Youth Hall.

The performers represented in poems and songs the ardent thoughts and feelings of the Korean people to hold the President in high esteem for all ages.

Meanwhile, the performance by illusionists and amateurs at the magic theatre of the National Acrobatic Troupe gave pleasure, optimism and laughter to the audience. -0-
