A Champagne-Fueled Celebration on Ice: The Sketch Reports on Belita's Unforgettable Birthday Party at London's Hippodrome in 1953 In the vibrant and exciting world of post-war London entertainment, few figures shone as brightly as Belita Jepson-Turner. Known for her captivating performances in ice shows like "Champagne on Ice," the enchanting Belita turned heads both on and off the rink. On May 20, 1953, as the Hippodrome's old arena area was transformed into a stunning ice rink for her show, Belita celebrated her birthday in a most unconventional yet delightful way – by inviting an array of celebrities to join her on the ice for an unforgettable birthday party. Among the guests gracing the icy event were the legendary Frankie Howerd, Lizbeth Webb, Terry Thomas, and Bernard Delfont. Each took to the rink with varying degrees of success, as captured in this photograph from The Sketch. Frankie Howerd, a renowned comedian, attempted to balance grace and humor on the ice, while Lizbeth Webb, an actress, showcased her elegance and poise. Terry Thomas, an actor and comedian, displayed his characteristic mischievousness, and Bernard Delfont, a prominent impresario, proved that even behind the scenes, he was not one to shy away from a challenge. The Hippodrome's arena, now a rink, provided the perfect backdrop for this unique celebration. The energy and excitement of the evening were palpable, as celebrities and spectators alike reveled in the joy of the occasion. As Belita glided across the ice, surrounded by her famous friends, it was clear that her birthday party was an entertainment experience unlike any other. This photograph captures a moment in time, a testament to the magic and whimsy of post-war London's vibrant entertainment scene.
