This weekly account on what
happens of evenings after dinner
|, should perhaps be started this time
by the note that the new show has
opened at the Russian Troika. The
same performers are there, of
course, but a new show at the
Troika is always an event. Sasha
Lukas plays new tunes on his
violin Zone is Meditation" from
"Thais'D; Lola Lolik and Vanya
Orlik do new dances; vladimir Dill
off sings new songs; Nadia Varelle
has bright new Portuguese dance;
Moskova and Bajon continue that
well-liked midget" skit; Sasha has
some new ditties for his balaleika,
and it all is exceedingly gay and
dashing.
Elsewhere about town you will
find an elaborate floor show, full of
dancing and sundry novelties, at the
Shoreham Hotels Blue room, the
same is true of the Bamboo Gar
dens and the Lotus Less elabo-
rate, but still full of life, you will
find an entertainment interlude at
the Raleigh Hotels Pail Mall room,
with dances by Manya and Zanette,
Continental songs by Nine. Tara
sova, music by Mario di Polo . At
the cocktail lounges where you can't

Evelyn Nations, very trim young
singer, according to the telegram
which came bouncing into the room
yesterday evening. And held over
some more are Singer Lee Sullivan
and Pianist Mel Pahl, who have
made many friends since they came
to town.
Still elsewhere, where there Is
dancing but no floor show, you will
find much to make you happy. At
the Carlton Hotels Shar-Zad room,
which is one night club with an
atmosphere that's completely relax
ing, there's always entertainment
afoot. There's always entertain
ment because the music is by Sande

the boys aren't busy with dance
music they are busy with various
songs and skits you're bound to like.
