Evelyn is the shining star of the big ice show at the International Casino, Broadway's most titanic night club. And civic pride in her is so violent that citizens nearly beat their tables to pieces when Evelyn does such skating tricks as her "Arabian Cartwheel," which is a complete somersault without touching the ice.

Miss Chandler, or Mrs. Mapes, turned pro when Madison Square Garden hired her to amuse the customers between halves of hockey matches. Since then she and Bruce have taught, and have skated exhibitions all over the world. Right now she is winning plaudits right in the heart of her home town, on 1,400 square feet of artificial ice.
