Royal Jubilee Picture Takes Shape

FIRST SHOW ON MAY 6

Mr. John Drinkwater has finished his part in, the Royal Jubilee film by Pathe, on which he has been collaborating with Sir Austen Chamberlain,

Compared with the $100,000- Jubilee eple planned originally by London Films, for which Mr. Win- ston Churchill was to write a fic- tlonised scenario, the present film has been a simple undertaking.

Mr. Drinkwater described it inst night.

"The chief labour was that of editing," said Mr. Drinkwater. "Pathe have a magnificent collec- tion of new reols covering the whole reign. They ran them off, and Sir Austen Chamberlain and I did the weeding-out."

Mr. Drinkwater has also written a running commentary, which will be spoken by Sir Austen.

The commentary wherever posal-: ble, is interpretative as well as in- formative. It affords a summary, of the most significant social,' political and scientifle 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 season..

The film is called "Twenty-Five Yeara a King." It will begin with the death of King Edward. "The first public showing will be on May

The total Eskimo population of the world was computed by the lato Dr. Rasmussen at about 34,000. Some 14,000 of these occupied tho coast of Arctic Alnaka. They were not found in inland Alaska. The remainder were found in Greenland (13,000), Arctie Canada (about 5,000), and Eastern Siberia (about 1,200).

Despite the smallness of their numbers the Eskimo race possessed a distinctive artistic culture of its own, as well as an interesting folk- lore having been committed to paper by and poetry, which, never the Eskimo himself, was in danger of being lost.. Some of it was collected by the late Dr. Rasmussen in his journey across Arctic Ameri- ca, and translated into English for Dr. Rasmussen by the lecturer,
