SHORTT'S THEATRE.
"Nanook of the North," the much-talked-of Pathe feature produced for Eevillon Freres by Robert J. Flaherty, F.R.6.5., will' show to-day for the last time at Shortt's Theatre. Nanook is -. a real Eskimo, _ famed throughout the Barren Lands -m the far "north region of Hudson Bay, as a gi'eat hunter. He is seen, with his, wife and children in their year-round existence of food hunting. For tlie'.Eslrimo eats only.-when he has' food, and he has. food only when hecatches it, "arid' lie catches it when he' ,can, which is not always when .he needs it. '■ The.' Eskimo dies more frequently of' starvation or accident, than of sickness. And his ■ dogs—his huskies whose forebears were the 'wolf—get so hungry that they v.'ill eat the seal-hide thongs ot their harness, or will'attack the-lit-ter and Rat the puppies. The supports are equally excellent.
