VERA HRUBA Is her name. an


Johnston, never a man to stint on
his adjectives, has billed her modestly
as queen of the ice," and he says the
skating fans of America have &C.
claimed her a prettier girl and a more
talented skater than Sonia Henie."
As matter of fact, Vera, who came
tripping into the Johnston ofice to
sign the contract right while Jimmy
was trying desperately to shoe a cou-
pie of fight writer's out the side door,
does possess much oom-pah. She has
honey-colored hair and movie aspira-

he drew over $4,000 against Johnny
