SHORTT'S THEATRE.
Eobert J. Flaherty, F.R.G.S., did not produce "Jfanook of the North," the Pathe feature showing at Shortt's Theatre, where it remains until next Thursday, with an object-lesson in view. We become acquainted with the life of the Eskimo the year round : in illimitable spaces of frozen snow at the -top of the world. We see how his whole life is centred on a search !for food; we see what hi 3 clothes are made of; how he builds his snow-house; how he goes to bed, gets up, dresses; how the baby is washed; how they love; how they harpoon a battling two-ton walrus; how they catch seals and salmon, and how they eat them. In addition to- the merits of dramatic interest, "Nanook of the North" has that rare virtue of truth, it having been entirely filmed in the actual Arctic, 800 miles north of civilisation, on the east coast of Hudson Bay. The supports are also excellent.
