"Essimo" shows what a director, Mike W. S. Van Dyke can do when you turn him loose with an expert photographer and highly pictoriali stretches of snow and ice and a few whales and other fauna of the great North,

The tender care, the loving at ention with which "Eskimo" has been done, lift it into a class al- most unique. Your attention must be called to the sequence portray-| ing a stampede of caribou which is easily the most exciting thing of the sort since the stampede Uf the elephants in "Chang', and looks even more authentic. Then there is a stirring episode when Mala. hall frozen and desperate, throttles a wolf to death in the

It is to Mr. Van Dyke's camera- man that our best thanks are due. Rarely, if ever, have such superb landscapes and seascapes been im- prisoned by the lens. The mobile icasses of ice. the heavens now radiant, now sullen with dafmess, the scenes of a world apart from ours-all these are conveyed with charm and with terror.
