Summary
Nanook of the North, the big Pathe feature now showing at the Coronet, is in every way a really fine production. It is the first motion picture depicting the actual life of the Eskimo. The picture was made by Robert J. Flattery [sic], engineer and explorer of Sir William MacKenzie's expeditions in the barren lands of the Hudson Bay. The activities in the life of the Eskimos are shown.
