ICE-SKATING TROUPE
Probably the most graceful thing now in Wellington is Vera Paravicini, who, with Edmund Corthcsy, tops the bill in the St. Moritz Ice-Skaters’ show in Playland at the Centennial Exhibition. In her diminutive skating suit, with her curly Pan-like head, she reminds spectators of a sylvan faun straight from the woods, as she circles and pirouettes on the 14-foot ice rink. Easy as it is—lor those who know how—to accomplish tricky and notable feats on a spacious rink, difficult i«s are encountered when every movement must be contracted for a performance to be given on a small area, and the success with which the St. Moritz skaters accomplish this is apparent to all who see their show.
