...promoting business was not all Joe's idea. Last month in Chicago's Belmont Hotel, the champ had listened and nodded as two men unfolded the details of the deal. One of them was promotion-wise Arthur M. Wirtz, co-owner of Sonja Henie's Hollywood Ice Revue. The other was Grain Operator James D. Norris, son of the owner of the Detroit Red Wings. They offered Joe a third interest in a new promotional firm to be called the International Boxing Club. It sounded good to Joe. Last week, the three partners met again at Norris...

Howdy, Mr. Ice (produced by Sonja Henie & Arthur M. Wirtz) is the sixth of the Center Theater's mammoth, popular ice carnivals.

Then they recommended some rules changes and the same 15½? increase already accepted by the 19 other brotherhoods. Management accepted. The three brotherhoods defiantly...

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...
