The professional figure skating show, "Gay Blades," that is being presented by Ice Carnival Inc., now being rehearsed, is fast whipping into shape.  Born in the fertile brain of Maribel Vinson, the greatest skater that the United States has ever known, "Gay Blades," the first International Skating Ballet, is truly a masterpiece. Miss Vinson as producer and director is responsible for the choreography of the show and has given it the vast experience of her years of amateur skating, her unusual ability to interpret music into skating movements, and the great talent that has made her such an outstanding skater.
