THE ESKIMO KISS

The Cameraman's Joy

While science, represented by Dr. J. C. Geiger of San Francisco, berates kissing as unsanitary, from the Arctic comes a solution of the whole problem! Osculation with- out exchanging the microscopic armies of germs that the northern health ofcer says accompany love's greeting, is every day affair up there.

AC

Eskimos, instead of kissing, rub noses!

And they say it's a perfectly. practical way of demonstrating love.

"The romantic youth of the Arc- tic," declares Col. W. S. Van Dyke, who directed the Arctic adventure drama, "Eskimo,” which comes on Sunday to the Queen's Theatre "are very addicted to the gentle art of nose-rubbing,and our own quaint custom of necking. It's äll in the point of view they like it it's just a matter of personal contact, anyhow, and I never heard of a case of pink tooth brush up there.",

Mala, romantic Eskimo hero of the picture. whe nose-rubs with the Garbo of the Arctic. In "Es- kimo." explains from the view- point of his people. "It has been done for centuries," he says, “and expresses affection Just as your kiss Most Eskimos never have seen anyone kiss and anyhow they don't think it's a nice babit. Ours is better all round."

Clyde DeVinta, cameraman for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer polar expedition, ands another reason to laud nose-rubbing over kissing. "When people kiss." he says "part of the face of each is covered up, making it darned hard to photo- graph. Every kissing scene in a picture is a worry to the camera- But the Eskimo way can be photographed without any trouble because faces don't overlap. The Eskimo kiss is the cameraman's

man.
