An amazing and spectacular epic drama o£ the arctic, which the whole world has been waiting to see ever since Dr. Arnold Fanck's expedition penetrated the Polar regions of Northern Greenland and stayed six months in the frozen land of " floating mountains" to secure this startling film, will open its engagement at the strand Theatre to-morrow. , „ , , " S.O.S. Iceberg is the first screen and sound record of the startling phenomena of the Pole. The audience hear and see giant floating mountains split and explode, seas of ice roar and crumble, great icebergs turn ovef to the accompaniment of threshing Arctic seas. . . . There is a real dramatic plot in the film. An expedition is lost in the land of ice, the food runs low, desperate measures to reach civilisation, to keep alive only result in disaster. An intrepid wife flies to the rescue; she too is lost. The world waitsthen sends the great German aviator. Major Ernst Udet, to the rescue.
