Following her early childhood ambition, am-bition, Sonja, whose first screen success, the Twentieth Century-Fox spectacular musical .smash-hit, "One In A Million," currently at the Cameo Theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, March 14, 15 and 16, learned to dance before she could skate, and later studied with the renowned Ballet Russe. "The ice is the best and most logical scene for dancing," declares Sonja. Liberated from the friction of the wooden floor, the dancer loses all her weight, in addition to being able to move much faster and with far greater ease and agility. Having already astounded first the sport world and then a much wider public with her exhibitions of unbelievable grace and rhythm on , skates, Sonja leads a breath-tak-. ing ice ballet in "One In A Million," which features a tremendous danc- ' ing chorus on skates. Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century-Fox production head, selected Sidney Lanfield to direct one of the largest casts eyer assembled for .a musical film, featuring Adolphe Menjou, Jean Hershot, Ned Sparks, Don Ameche, the Ritz Brothers, Ar- line Judge, Borrah Minevitch and his gang, Dixie Dunbar, Leah Ray and Shirley Deane.
