TUESDAY; FEB. 18 1947 _ 400 Amateur Skaters | Await ‘Curtain Call’ ~~ For lce-O-Rama Show

‘High School Concert at 7 P.M. to Precede

Extravaganza Tomorrow i

: By ART WRIGHT . A full dress rehearsal with orchestra today put the finishing touches

on The Times Ice-O-Rama, More than 400 amateur skaters

the rehearsal this afternoon at the fairgrounds Coliseum, then prepared

to rest up until the “curtain call”.

The show, staged by The Times and the city department of parks

and recreation to ralse funds for the infantile paralysis drive, will start at 8 p. m., Thursday, Preceeding the ice extravaganza will be a concert by' Cathedral and Howe high school bands starting at 7:30 p,m. The doors will open at 6:30 p. m, After weeks of tiring rehearsals, the skaters, under the direction of Mrs, Norma Koster, have provided the ' fastest-moving = Ice-O-Rams staged in the three years of the show's existence. . Former Stars Helping It's the closest approach to a professional show yet made by the local amateurs, Much of the success is attributed to the work of stars of other Ice-O-Ramas. These include Oynthia Hanson, who at 11 years old has become one of the city's outstanding skaters; Rex Cook, often referred to as the Preddie Trenkler of the amateurs; Betsy Todd, whose thrilling routines of other years: have become even more sensational; Ann Bond, whose baton twirling on skates is‘an outstanding feat—and many others. The girls military drill on skates which brought a colorful finish to the past two shows again will perform. The Winter club, the Indianapolis Figure Skating clup, and othhave added their talents to the production. 15-Piece Orchestra Staging for the Ice-O-Rama Is the most professional ever attempted. Instead of “canned music” (phonographt records) a 15piece professional orchestra, directed by Walter Reuleaux, will play for all acts. A last-minute rush for tickets in addition to ‘the heavy advance sale indicates a record-breaking crowd. With plenty of mezzanine seats provided, it was estimated that several thousand of the 50 cent tickets would be available at the Coliseum box-offices Thursday night.

~ However, persons planning to at-

tend the show were urged to buy their tickets at downtown Infantile Paralysis booths tomorrow to
