Although Producer Sonja Henie, most famed skatress of them all, does not appear in her own production, she has a worthy substitute in Premiere Ballerina Stenuf, an engagingly plump Viennese who was runner-up to Henie in the 1936 Olympics. Skippy Baxter, a Massine of the runners, began his career, aged 10, on rented skates in Ottawa. Le Verne (last name Busher) developed her off-beat virtuosity at De-Pauw University and in Chicago...
