Pathex Motion Pictures 37 Nanook of the North A true story of the life of the Eskimo is given in this series of one-reel subjects, each complete in itself, but having a relation to the entire story. Photographed by Robert J. Flaherty, F. R. G. S., three hundred miles beyond civilization's most Northerly outpost, the film constitutes a distinct contribution to the world's information on the habits of the Northern races. Nanook is a real person. He is chief of the "Itivimuits" and famous as a great hunter throughout the Ungava Peninsula, one of the regions on the North American Continent, least accessible to white men. His exploits as shown on the screen, throw new light on the struggle for existence made by these little known people. 'Nanook's Labor and Love* No. T 40 One Reel $1.75 An interesting insight into the family life of Nanook — a few robes of bear and deer skin, a stone pot and a stone lamp, constituting their household belongings. The contrast between the winter home and the summer fishing camp. 'Children of the Ice Lands' No. T41 One Reel $1.75 Children are the same the world over. They want to be what their fathers are. So the little Eskimo plays at archery with Nanook to warm his hands; tug-of-war with a seal's flapper; dog training; and childish tumbles in the snow and ice.
