HEAVY HOLLYWOOD TOUCH

HEAVY HOLLYWOOD TOUCH
The show is more elaborate than
ever and the Hollywood touch, as
laid on by Leon Leonidoff, who
staged the production, is heavy.
Arthur NJ. Writ and William II.

Offering again.
Miss Henie, seven pounds lighter
than last season, appears on the
ice SIX times, once in a solo. In
the latter she skate-dances to Pro
V0ST'S 'IntermeZZo" and this
number is the incest bit in the
show which generally follows the
pattern of the three previous
Hollywood Ice Revues.
The Sonia HenIe genius IS first
revealed in the Legend of the
Pearl in which she skates with
Harrison Thomson, the young
Canadian as her partner. Later
she's the cutest little Red Riding

bad wolf and she winds up the

SONJA'S NEW PARTNER
Stewart Raeburn, her partner in
most of the dances last year. in
Guiding the tango, is not with the
show but this young Thomson lad
is a worthy successor although
he does not dance with Sonia in
the latter number, the only
repeater from last years show
Raeburns spot in the tango has
been taken by Eugene Mikeler a
handsome youngster.
The tango was as wildly ac-
claimed as last year.
The course numbers. staged
again by Harry Losee. are finished
offerings breath-taking in their
effects. Most of the skaters were
with the original show. The
comedy numbers are funnier and
the specialties better and you'll
be glad to see Fritz Dietl, the
man with the high skates, again.
