Habana H a S
New Team

At last, my frauds, a new sen
sation!
For the "Cubanacan," as per.
formed by Tudel and Jean at the
Club Habana, is nothing less.
The "Cubanacan" is the quin'
tessence Of the Cuban spirit, the
embodiment Of that fascinatingly
blended race to be found nowhere
else on the face of the globe but
in Havana, city Of revolutions and
fieStaS.
The dance, conceived by Tudel
q native Cuban, expresses the de.
velopment of the new Cuban PEG
pie, the infiltrations OF Spanish
French and Indian blood that
have created its temperament, the
fatalism and gaiety that have
grown up side by side, the national
trend toward Giving dangerously
and for the crowded moment. En-
thusiaStic. are we? Huh! You
just go-see Tudel and Jean in
this rather marvellous number
and you, too, will Seethe with
thrills.
Incidentally, "Cubanacan" is
pronounced "Kew-ba-na-can" with
the accent on the first syllable
and all the as very broad. Tudel
and Jean also present several
very superior waltz, tango and
carioca numbers,
The Roddy Twins are another
star Habana attraction. Their
glorified Hawaiian dance, done in
ce1lophane leis and fringed skirts,
to the charming rhythms OF
''Ka1ua," lifts this sort of mum
Der to new heights Of grace and
SensuouS beauty. They also in

Gay Times at
Club Troika

They've finally found a number
up at the Russian Club Club
Troika that compares with the
famous "Shastuki" number of last
month. It is called "Russicaya
Soldatski Fleert," and is a skit por-
traying the embarrassment of
three Russian misses caught in
the midst Of their washing by a
trio of three dashing young Rus
sian soldiers.
Portrayed by an all star cast
from the Troika's remarkable ar
ray Of Gypsy and Russian talent,
this number runs close second
to "Russicava Sharmonka," the
organ grinder number that is
such a hit, both in Washington
and abroad, where it was first
performed in the Follies Bergere
in Paris.
