Our mother took us to the Ice Follies every year and I loved Mr. Frick

Wow! This brings back such incredible childhood memories of seeing Mr. Frick with the Ice Capades at the Chicago Stadium. It was the highlight of the show for me, and I seem to recall that he ended with the Colonel Bogey March. What a treat to see him again. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!

Went to the Follies every year in Houston growing up in the 60s, Thanks for the memories.

Thanks so much for posting this video, I can remember when he was 1/2 of the comedy team Frick and Frack. I have searched everywhere for anything on him, It is hard to come by. I could watch him for hours.

Thanks for Posting. Showed my his and who never had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Frick at the Boston Garden as I did as a child.

Geeze, whatever happened to those ice shows. Ice Capades and Ice Follies. I saw Mr. Frick at one of them in the 1960's in Hershey, Pa. I can tell you those ice shows were a real treat for a farm kid back then. I even saw Olympic Champion Peggy Fleming at one of those shows. A couple of us kids were able to sneak our way back behind the curtain and ran into her as she was warming up to go on as a featured performer. She did tell us something like "you kids know you're not supposed to be back here." Then, she autographed her picture in our show programs. Not sure how I 'explained' that one to my parents when they saw it!

They were quite a scream!! Sounds like a wonderful experience..best wishes

I saw him in 1963, at Madison Square Garden. I was 7. He amused me then, and this amuses me now. Thanks!

This is sad news, but thank you so much for reporting it. He is such a part of so many lives....and spending a lifetime bringing laughter to millions of people must have a great heavenly reward. I have a feeling he is giving Sonja Heine a whirl around the celestrial ice rink right now!!! best wishes

Yes, there are some Ice show greats that have been forgotten! but never Mr. Frick!! I think of him whenever I see that ankle catch in a dance team number!! I remember a really funny space age team in the early 70's, but can't even remember their names! Check out MY FAVORITES and look at the ICE CAPADES Anniversary review. best wishes

I am sure it was quite an assemblege! Many people miss the ice shows a great deal. Such an exciting life for people of that era. The Belle Epoch, WWI, the Roaring 20's, WW2, the 50's the hippies, the growth of skating in the 1970's, the designer 80's and the grung 90's.....I wonder if there is an autobiography about him available??? Such stories he could tell!! thanks for sharing!! best wishes to you, your mother, and all the ice show crowd!!

@TacoStain I will keep an eye out for it, but can't say that I have ever seen them. Sounds like a fun time though.....best wishes

Tjbissett, My mom was a Dwyer girl too. also used to be one of Colin Beatty's "wives" . Maybe we've met ;-) Glad to see other Follies memories being shared!

New things come on KZfaq, all the time. We keep an eye out for them. We have no Mr. Frack yet either (Frick and Frack)...Anyone who can help, should post for us! We are influencing kids and skaters all over the world, who are not familiar with these great names from the past that were such a part of our lives. Best wishes

I have the sad job to inform his fans here that Werner (Mr Frick) passed away ......April 14th , i think.....unexpectedly after a short hospital stay near his home in Switzerland... Right before his 93rd birthday. What a lovely man. I will always remember him and his fabulous smile. Rest in Peace Mr. Frick

Mr Frick and his wife gave me my dog sugar. Shitzu

Mr. Frick the skating clown... Of course...
