“27 Months in the Arctic”. This man spent a great deal of time with both Cook and Peary, talks the Eskimo language and is as familiar with the arctic as any of the other explorers. He took about five minutes in introductory talk, then showed about 50 slides with the stereopticon, illustrating scenes in the polar regions. Closed with a scene we built for him and showed and explained an exhibition of the animals, sleds, dogs and many things showing the habits and customs of the people. He will draw us a splendid large patronage all week and is a hit. Opens in one, and closes full stage.
