An Original Vintage Movie Souvenir Program Book (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 18 pages) (Learn More) Hollywood Ice Revue, the 1942-43 Arthur M. Wirtz ice skating ice show musical starring Sonja Henie ("Sixth Triumphant Tour"). This was started by Miss Henie in the Spring of 1936, and it was a huge hit, and became an annual event, lasting into the 1950s (but Miss Henie left it in 1950, after a dispute with Mr. Wirtz). Note that in 1942, this annual show, then in its sixth year, added a special "To the Colors" section to their show, which featured Miss Henie and dozens of ice skaters dancing to patriotic songs (including "White Christmas" by Irving Berlin). This section was designed to show that "the citizens of a free world must proceed to keep this a world not domineered by Nazi or Fascist aggressors". There is a page in the 1941 program that says "Thanks to Walt Disney", and tells about the addition to the show, and has a picture of Walt dressed in a costume wearing ice skates! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this program has black felt covers with a great embossed gold image of Henie with her name in gold lettering. Also note that we have pictured the front cover and an interior 2-page spread from this program. You can use these images to determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are some other pages you are not seeing.
UPDATED 10/06/2016: Note that there was some loose debris on the cover when this book was photographed. We have removed the debris and updated the image. You may need to refresh/reload the auction page to see the update. Condition: very good.
