"St Patrick’s Day has always been the day for the Irish in Australia. On 17 March 1795 there were rowdy festivities among the Irish convicts, and the cells were filled with prisoners. Later the occasion gained in respectability, marked by formal dinners attended by the colonial elite, many with no Irish connections."

Not ice skating: ice DANCING! Anyone trying to Google their names will be disappointed, so these are not celebrities; probably just happy participants in an ice carnival, such as the big one at Red Bank, New Jersey -- an attraction, held annually, that drew participants from New York as well.

Correct spelling Maxine Elliott, American stage actress (1868&ndash1940).
Wystan said:
Maxine Elliott had her own theater in New York City, which bore her name. She was in St. Moritz when a runaway "bobsleigh" with defective steering gear rammed into three tourists, injuring them severely but not fatally.
