SHORTT'S THEATRE.

There are two "features on the programme at Shortt's Theatre. "A Yankee Go-Getter" is a title that is noticed immediately, and the picture ia one of the "pep" and action gort that might be expected. . Every turn in' the , story brings .forth « surprise. "His Mystery Girl," the other feature, ■is the quick-moving romance of a woman-hating adventurer. The supporting programme is excellent. "NANNOOK OF THE NORTH." . Picture the top of the world—illimitable spaces of barren land, desolate, boulder-strewn, windswept. In -what little sterile .soil there is nothing grows, except for. a few short summer months a moss which is ÜBed for fuel. No other race could survive the rigour of the cliir.ate, yet there, utterly dependent upon animal life, which is their sole source of food, live the most cheerful people in all- the world—the fearless, lovable, happy-go-lucky Eskimo. Life, love, and the unending struggle for existence by the Eskimo in the icy wastes of the actual Arctic are depicted in "Nanook of the North," the Pathe feature to be shown at Shortt's Theatre on Friday. It was produced for Revillon Freres by Robert J. Flaherty, F.R.G.S., who led five Sir William Mackenzie expeditions into North Hudson Bay regions, and who discovered and charted the Belcher Islands on Hudson Bay. Everyone who has had the good fortune to see "Nanook of the.North" has pronounced it a film masterpiece from the standpoint of true life drama, novelty, beauty, power, photography, and interest.
