Dark activity. 1t was the Russian
Troika for long time, until the in
vasion of Finland, when it became
just the Troika. Many night club
stars appeared in Troika entertain

local and visiting, thronged the spot
to make 1t the best known of the
towns bistros. For the last IL years
of its existence it was operated by
Mrs. Hamilton, who made uncounted
thousands of visiting firemen and
oil men from the west think they
we're the most important men in the
Nations Capital. Through all IA
years of the Troika's life, its head
waiter was Mischa, an ex-artillery
officer of the Gear and a student of
life and the arts, who became as
much a landmark in Washington
night life as the club itself. 1t

up to the expectations aroused by

a young comic whose liking fol
Washington is heightened by the
fact that 1t was during an appear

was tagged to join the society OF

on the floor, you know Immediately
that here is a man who will get
around to impersonating Charles
Laughton before long and, sure
enough, before long, he does. The
Carney surprise, however, is that
he makes it funny, no matter how
weary you may be Of that "Mr

fact, MIR. Carney is a funny fellow

best perhaps in his impersonation

executive director Of the Michigan

1T is evident that there is a
serious misunderstanding in this
connection. Michigan Hospital Ser

per patient-day than is paid by any
similar plan throughout the nation,
but also pays more than is paid by
any insurance organization"
