Holiday On Ice Proves Itself 'Numero f/no9 In Show Biz By PAT FIELDS Zeigfeld's Follies toppled from the pinnacle o F show business spectaculars here last night! For elaborate staging, costuming, music, dancing an d the glorification of beautiful people, Holiday On Ice 1969 is the all-time champion of entertainment extravaganzas. Donn Arden, director-choreographer who joined the staff only this year, cracked the whip long and hard to gain the perfection of talent, the precision dancing and the speeded up tempo that makes the 1969 edition of HOI a new experience for area audiences. . , _ pj.gjjjjjg wittop deserves equal applause for his elegant costumes, for_which thereL_arp no ?╟≤VHH; oi isoo ou w i29pi reuopouioid 121 sb gumorupuoo are aip ipnsui 0; | paajgB pnil'q??? 9^ J0J ao*013j:H -uoo 'saSpoH-^PM.

Alfredo Mendoza and his new1 partner Darolyn Prior add; Johnny Leech to their adagio act for one of the funniest comedy scenes ever. Tommy Allen and Juanita Percelly made a surprise ap-[, pearance last night, brief but] welcome, and received a special! burst of applause. They've al- \ ways been audience favorites, and most of the regulars were aware that the young couple became parents for the first! time only three weeks ago.
