Sonja Henie, was a Norwegian figure skater and Hollywood film star.  She won more Olympic and World titles than any other ladies' figure skater in the history of the sport (1927-1936) winning 10 world championships in a row.
She also was the first ladies figure skater to adopt a short skirt, white skating boots, and make use of dance choreography in her routines.   Her innovative skating techniques and glamourous demeanor transformed the sport permanently and confirmed its acceptance as a legitimate sport in the Winter Olympics.
Much in demand as a performer at figure skating exhibitions in both Europe and North America. Henie became so popular with the public that police had to be called out for crowd control at many of her performances.  This large, 9"x12" fully-illustrated program booklet runs 16 pages and features a number of photos of Henie, other skaters in the company, and information about the tour.
While the interior of booklet is printed on glossy magazine stock, the outside covers are fashioned from a stone-colored suede-textured stock with an embossed and gold-leafed silhouette of Henie striking a skating pose.
