New Show in Manhattan

Icetime of 1948 (produced by Sonja Henie & Arthur M. Wirtz) could almost be reviewed with a pair of ditto marks. The sixth of the Center Theater's chronically successful ice shows, it displays the same skill as the other five, the same lavishness, and, eventually, the same monotony. By now, obviously, a really new skating act is as hard to find as a new gambit at chess. But by cheating a little here & there, Icetime of 1948 has come up with some extra fun. Entering on skates, which he promptly kicks off, Joe Jackson Jr. goes into the hilarious bicycle act that made his late father famous, and that may make him famous, too.
