Summary
Nanook of the North,' the famous Arctic Pathe production, is to be screened at Coronet today. The photoplay introduces two entirely new personalities, Nanook, 'The Bear,' and Nyla, 'The Smiling One.' Nyla is said to have a 'real million dollar smile,' but at first when Robert J. Flattery [sic], the explorer-producer, wanted to film her, she was 'camera-shy.'
