Undoubtedly, this subject is one of the most remarkable human screen documents ever recorded since the advent of the cinema. It was photographed under the strangest conditions ever faced by a cameraman. He cranked his machine through all the perils of the Arctic air flight, even during the heartrending period when they were lost to the world and facing death at every step, and only discarded his camera at the final moment when the last ounce of superfluous weight had to be dispensed with in the desperate but successful return trip. As presented by Pathe. "The Amundsen Polar Flight" film takes the spectator on a "personally conducted" trip with the daring explorers who trusted their lives to Providence and two super-airplanes. Captain Raold Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole, who at 63 sought to reach the North Pole by air, is first introduced. Then, Lincoln Ellsworth, the only American in the party makes a close-up bow. The two giant Dornier-Wal planes are shown. Each plane carried a crew of two besides the leader. With .Amundsen in the N-25 were Liteutenant Riiser-Larsen, Norwegian Navy, and Master Mechanic Karl Feucht. In Ellsworth's plane, the N-24 were Lieutenants Omdal and Dietrichson. An animated map discloses the fate of other expeditions, their routes and the route planned by Amundsen. The picture is in three parts and will be released on November 10.
