CATION for Genoa quartered at the
Hotel Esplanade, a congress of the
Russian Monarchists converting in an
other part of the city and the Social
list Third International in stormy ses-
sion at the Reichstag, the already
striking Muscovite infection of the
city grew even more pronounced, and
the innumerable Russian cafes and
cabarets have been doing a thriving
business.
BY all odds the most popular Of
these cabarets is the one known as
the Blue Bird, which exercises a
strong fascination not alone for the
Russians in search of home atmos-
phere, but has also been discovered by
the motley international crowd now
overfowing Berlin. and Americans in
particular are dividing their patron
age between this unique little stage
and the better known Palais de Danse.
The charm of Russian vaudeville
consists in its close affinity to genuine
folk art and the visitor, even though
the idiom be sealed book to him, al
ways leaves with the sense of having
seen and heard something specifically
national and characteristic.
Russian and American interests were
closely linked UP recently by little
fete celebrating the first anniversary of
the Russian Polytechnicum at Wunsdorf,
near Berlin, which is being operated
under the auspices of the American Y.
M. G. A. Here more than 200 former
Russian officers are receiving technical
and scientific agricultural training.
