SONIA HENIE SHOWING HERE
 AT COLISEUM
Tyrone Power Is Co-starred in Thin Ice'- New
 Musical Feature

A gay and magnificent musical that skins in shimmering delight along the silvery Alpine slopes, snow -drenched with dazzling spec tacle and exciting beauty, heart warming with riotous fun and young romance, brings Sonia Henie and Tyrone Power together, as you wanted them to be, thrilling, as you knew they'd be, in the Twentieth Century-Fox picture, Thin Ice which opens Sunday at the Colise- um Theatre.
 Topping all her triumphs of One in a Million, Miss Henie is more radiantly exciting than ever as she displays new beauty, new dar- ing and new breath taking thrills
 A delightfully."- romance of mistak- en identity affording many hilari- ously funny situations, Thin Ice" concerns the romance of beauu- ful skating star who falls in love with man she believes to be re- porter, but who, in reality, is a Prince.
 Sonia has come to a hamlet ill the Swiss Alps to accept a position as a skating instructress at a mag nificent hotel. Prince Rudolph also arrives with Alan Hale and Maurice Cass, each heading rival eontln- gent, to settle neutrality pact. He feigns illness in the hope that the continual pickering between Hale and Class will lead to quicker sign ing of the pact. t
 Having escaped through the back door of the hotel, Tyrone goes to the village inn and registers as a re- porter. Then he goes out to ski and meets Sonia. Their first meeting is only casual, but when villagers see Sonia entering a royal car that night with George Givot, whom they believe to be the Prince, the news quickly spreads that she is being favored by Tyrone.
 The agents of the two foreign countries also believe the rumor and attempt to win Sonia to their side, and through her get to Tyrone. She refuses, but when one of them dangles a huge offer before her ne'er-do-well uncle, Raymond Wal burn, he accepts.
 In the meantime, the romance continues to grow, with Sonia still unmindful of the rumor circulating through the village. The agents discover they have been tricked by Walburn and through sympathy for each other, become fast friends. With these matters complicating the situation, the arrival of the Prime Minister (Sig Rumanm opens the way to happy conclusion.
