Royal Jubilee Picture-
Takes Shape
.....!i
FIRST SHOW ON MAY 6
Mr. John Drinkwater has finished liis part in the Royal Jublico film by Pathe, on which he has been collaborating with Sir Aurten Chamberlain,
Compared with the £100,000 Jubike epic planned originally by London Films, for which Mr. Win- ston Churchill was to write a fic- tionised scenario, the present film! has been a simple undertaking.
Mr. Drinkwater described It fast night.
"The chief Inbour was that of editing," said Mr. Drinkwater, "Pathe have a magnificent collec- tion of new reels covering the whole reign. They ran them off, and Sir Austen' Chamberlain and I did the weeding-out."
Mr. Drinkwater had also written a running commentary, which will be spoken by Sir Auston,
The commentary wherever possi- ble; is interpretative na well as in- formative. It affords a summary of the most algnificant social, political and scientific developments during the quarter century of the King's reign.
In an expanded form and richly | illustrated, the commentary will be published as a book during the
Jubilee seasoji.
The film is called "Twenty-Five Years a King." It will begin with the death of King Edward. The firat public showing will be on May 6.

The total Eskimo population of the world was computed by the late Dr. Rasmussen at about 94,000. Some 14,000 of these occupied tho coast of Arctic Alaska. They were not found in inland Alaska. The remainder were found in Greenland (13,000), Arctic Canada (about 5,000), und Eastern Siberia (about 1,200).

The Eskimos were Christian, though the natives of Alaska in the Barter Irland region lived still in a somewhat neglected fashion as far as law was concern- ed, being some 400 miles from the Mission at Darrow and the hospital, en an inaccessible const where the American revenuo cutter could rarely penetrate.
The people were therefore still in a very primitive state in many respects. Their dwellings were houses of driftwood, found in great quantity on this coast. The Alaskan native had quite lost the art of snow-house building, which was now confined to the Eskimos of the Eastern Arctic.
