Robert—Bert to everybody—is the little chap who works as technical adviser and skating stand-in for Sonja. It's in his latter capacity that he takes the ribs—because the job makes him put on short fluffy skirts of the kind Sonja wears, and he looks sort of cute. Sonja’s other stand-in, or standing stand-in, is a pretty blonde girl who looks so much like Sonja she could fool a bill collector. At least when a studio man walked on the set with a batch of bills for Henie he presented them to the standing stand-in, who took it standing up because she’s accustomed by now to being mis- taken for the star. The standing stand-in also skates, but not well enough to be a skating stand-in. Bert Clark, who hails from Winnipeg and used to be a Canad- ian speed champ on the ice, knows most of what there is to know about skating. Wearing Sonja’s fluffies, or clad in the trousers and green sweater-and overcoat he wears by choice, he can skim through her routines with nearly ds much gracé as the blade queen displays. And for the test shots—those arduous experi- ments which set the stage and camera for the actugl work by Henie—he goes through all the figures and dances, whirligigs and curlicues you see later on the screen, executed by Sonja.

When Sonja Henie glided into town three years ago, Bert was all set to telephone her—“just to offer her the use of our rink,” he says, “but she beat me to it. She wanted to put on her show there.” y That was when Sorifa Was out to get a miovie bid. Shé put on the show at Bert’s rink, and pretty soon Darryl Zanuck amazed Hollywood by signing—of all people—an ice skater. So Hollywood laughed until Sonja's first picture came oqt,\fmd then Lhe:in.ugh was on the other side. S5 i ‘ & 3 The new Henie picture was called “When Winter Comes” until the recent titlé change to “Second Fiddle.” As it must for all' the Henie epics, winter has camé ty Zdnuék's Stage 15, and except for the heat of the lghts, which js terrific, the “outdoor ice pond” near the winter-bound “schoolhouse” is a sight to chill. “Second Fiddle” is the first Henie picture with a setting in Hollywood (most of the way) and it's a satirical treatment of a talent quest by a producer with a best-seller on his hands and nobody to star in it. Henie is the skating sehoolmarm from Min- nesota who is the 458th—and smcmlm—wdfipffixfgr the role, and Tyrone Power is the movie press agent who fixes up a “publicity romance” between her and Rudy Vallee, who plays a movie crooner. (Rudy's still set, incidentally, on being a real movie actor.) > 3 g The satire has a double édge (not intended in the script) be- cause of the casting. The Power-Henie romance was one of Holly- wood’s most publicized while it lasted, and had its beginning— at least its beginning—in just maneuvering by the pa’s.
