Alternate Title
  • These Russian Bears really do skate says Jim Proudfoot; who went to see Moscow Circus on Ice at Maple Leaf Gardens last night. They stickhandle and shoot in hockey game; dance and pirouette. Acrobats in this Soviet Version of our Ice Capades are all magnificent; as when the girl on right does flip and lands on bar with her skates. But performers would be just as good without their skates.
