Show ! "Thin Ice" Coming To Cameo Theatre Pew pictures produced during the past few years have been fraught with more original qualities and dazzling daz-zling loveliness than "Thin Ice", Twentieth Century-Fox musical starring Sonja Henie and Tyrone Power, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Tues-day, October 31 and November 1 and 2, at the Cameo Theatre. Most films are easy to put into production. Of course, a certain period lies in the preparation of the story and budget, another in actual production, and still another in editing. But with a Sonja Henie picture, all precedence goes to the wind. Her specialized talent in skating requires more care and detail de-tail in the planning and production of her pictures. As an example, there are three spectacular skating numbers in "Thin Ice". This meant the creation crea-tion of a large rink suitable for the movements of eighty professional skaters. A refrigerating plant had to be constructed, which utilized miles of pipes, laid around the icy surface. The erection of an ice plant and a corps of engineers was necessary neces-sary to accomplish it. It was discovered the ice photographed photo-graphed too murkily. To correct this the technicians spread skimmed milk over the surface, which produced produc-ed a clear, white ice that photographed photo-graphed not only excellently, but economically as well. The white surface sur-face reflected the tremendous battery bat-tery of lights focused upon it, increasing in-creasing the light values, whereas the natural ice had tended to absorb ab-sorb this concentration. |
