Original Toronto Star caption: Relaxing in his Toronto home in prepartion for two shows at Maple Leaf Gardens tomorrow and Friday, skater Toller Cranston talked recently with Star writer Sid Adilman about how he copes with the acclaim his career has brought him. His dazzling ice show on Broadway was a hit with the critics. There it was presented on a smaller theatre stage. In Toronto, the arena will be even more thrilling to work in, Cranston says.
