STATE
“IT’S A PLEASURE” Sonja Henle, whose position as No. 1 skating star has remained unchallenged for 10 years, makes her Technicolour debut in “It’s a Pleasure,” which is the current feature attraction at the State Theatre. This offering by International Pictures brings Sonja into her own as an actress in a warm, human role, designed to prove her versatility. Besides skating spectacularly, she has gay comedy scenes, scenes of powerful drama, and for the first time on the screen, dances, without benefit of skates, in a routine ranging from waltz, adagio, beguine, to fast tap tempo. The story of the film revolves round a stormy romance between a determined little exhibition skater and a big-league ice hockey star. The strong cast includes Michael O'Shea, Marie McDonald, and Bill Johnson.
