PAGE B6 THE SUN, BALTIMO THE Holiday On Ice I Listen Magic Of Skaters Captures Audience By BRUCE CUTLER 'FHE magic of an expansive ice rink, flashing skaters and sweeping floodlights last night brought almost continuous applause and chuckles at the opening of the 25th anniversary production of Holiday On Ice at the Civic Center. From the sparkling introduction of Miss Silver Anniversary to the silvered spirit of a white Christmas, the half-full house echoed delight. The longest hush occurred when a cast of mad, mod April-Fool animals spilled onto the ice. The hippie type animals, elaborately costumed frolicked to an almost silent audience. Family Mood But three other comedy scenes indicated the family mood of the show as skaters in unique situations showed their skills. The obvious favorites of the audience were Werner and Denise Mueller and the three chimpanzees. Whether jumping boards painted like cactus, jumping rope or even playing hockey, the three^ chimps almost stole the show with their super-human antics. They skated better than some of the chorus girls. A slapstick team of Paul Andre, dressed to resemble a very pudgy Cleopatra, and Johnny Leech, who looked like a not very attractive Marc Antony, produced an unending series of goof offs and laughs. What began as a discreet Roman holiday sloshed its way into a very soggy Roman bath. New Year Rock Celebrating the aftermath of a successful Happy New Year Rock, Alfredo Mendoza and John Ladue teamed up in a motley sack with a St. Bernard's head to show a delighted audience how an "ole houn' dawg" deals with a party hangover. Their four legs were barely kept in harmony until a white French poodle?╟÷apparently the disguise of a very attractive lass ?╟÷ completed their footwork mixup. But the head of this faithful hound cleared when he skittered across the ice chasing a very miniature French poodle. High Point The high point of the first part of the production was the stellar performance of Ronnie Robertson, who danced and spun and gracefully flung himself from skate to skate to the music of Pagliacci, as the heroines from "Aida," "Madame Butterfly," "Tales of Hoffmann" and "Carmen" floated motionlessly around the edge of the ring. Miss Silver Anniversary, Marei Langenbien, who is performing her second season with the show, dazzled the audience with her piouettes so rapid that she became lost in a spiral of sparkling lights. With the rink flooded in soft pink lights, Carol Johnson sang her1 way around the ice as Miss Funny Valentine, bringing a few whistles as she moved lithely in a scanty bunny costume?╟÷with a big red heart where a white tail should be. Musical Comedy Musical comedy pageantry of the show is wrapped up in a six-scene Easter story that begins with a dozen fresh little girls wearing the shells of brightly colored eggs and ends with an Easter parade down Fifth Avenue to the strains of an Irving Berlin medley. The production is scheduled to play seven more performances through Sunday. Morris Chalfen is the executive producer of the show, which will travel to more than 60 American cities this winter. The silver anniversary production of Holi Center. The program included a variety with Donald I of the firm which includes Burl Ives as the wise ofld legal eagle and Joseph Campanella, the wicked cop framed the accused by planting sticks of dynamite in the man's home. When young Mr. Farentino found out about this, he was blackjacked, carried to his motel room, injected with heroin and arrested on a narcotics charge. Mr. Campanella, who doubles as a sleuth/ ferreted out the facts and brought the lieutenant to book. The fellow promptly hired Mr. Ives to defend him. Stench Of Evil The atmosphere, particularly in the scenes in which Mr. Campanella followed the villain's trail through the jungle of the drug peddlers and addicts, was heavy with the stench of evil, presented with considerable skill in terms of JUDY STRANGIS Featured in Room \ was seen on Washii Channel 4.
