EVERYBODY’S PICTURES TO-NIGHT ONLY. “S.O.S. ICEBERG.” It iu difficult to comment on the breath- taking film, “‘S.O.S. Iceberg,” without running into the term, “epic.” Universal’s amazing drama of the arctic which opens at the Princess Theatre to-night is something that has nevei been done before. “S.O.S. Iceberg” is the film which resulted from the six. months’ polar expedition which Universal sent into arctic Greenland under the leadership of IDr. Arnold Fanek, the noted outdoor screen producer. Naturally, its most outstanding feature is,the great beauty of the ioeland, and the spectacular arctic phenomena which it records on film apt! in sound as well for the first time, but in addition to this “S.O.S. Iceberg” tells a tense, dramatic story of a lost scientific expedition and their struggle to exist while stumbling towards civilisation. With the whole world searching for the party and their number increased by the dauntless flying wife of one of its members, the expedition is rescued in the very nick of time by an intrepid aviator, portrayed in this amazing film by Udet, the great war ace. Also showing news, comedy and cartoon.
