Greg. U. s. Pat. OFF,
BY JACK CUDDY

New York, Jan. 10. CUP)-The
sell-out crowd Of 1900 in Madison
Square Garden was Stilled as the
spotlight settled upon the two prin-
cipals In one Of the greatest shows
ever staged in the house that Tex
built.
There in the bulb Of white light
the kid" was doing his stuff while
the orchestra played q tango that
started the spectators weaving and
sinking in their seats.
The Kid was doing his stuff in
modern Madison Square Garden,
Just as his dad In the old Garden,
many years ago. He was doing 1t like
a champion, because his dad was a
champion Richie former
world king Of the lightweights.
They say that sports champions
never breed sons who can follow in
their footsteps. Maybe they're right.
But 0eary Steffen, Jr., Is carrying
on in robust fashion as the ice
dancing partner Of Sonia Henie, the
Golden Girl" Of sports and enter
tainment. Young Geary, only 10, is
the son Of Willie Richie, the ex-
champion who was born Geary A.
Steffen, 6r.
Steffen, q handsome, eager youth
with taffy hair, dances the tango
with Sonia Henie IN the Garden. or
wherever their tour may take them.
He wears the dark, Cutlery chaps
Of the Argentine Gaucho, and q
Magenta vest to match SonJas
breath-taking garb.
We caught young steffen after the
show, while he was eating tanger-
ines In his hotel room. And we asked
him: do you like It this way7 are
you satisfied to come into this new
Madison Square Garden as an ice
dancer inssed Of . fighter, like your
old man,
The son Of willie Ritehie reclined
on q hotel bed and answered: IT
would be q better story, II I'd say,
I'm sorry I'm not ~ the Garden
