Other New Pictures
Kivalina of the Ice Lands was filmed by one Earl Rossman in a two-year expedition to the Arctic. Eskimos are the actors. Here are reindeer without the Santa Claus; an eskimaid eski-mobiling behind some dogs through a 50-below zero blizzard; a full color reproduction of the aurora borealis. It might have been written with an ice-pick on the bleak wall of an igloo, but its impression of tiny men spinning their confused webs against the icy gulfs of immeasurable space registers effectively.
Paths to Paradise. "Darling/' said Raymond Griffith, master crook, to Betty Compson, his accomplice, when their speedy roadster had just eluded 100 motor cops, "I feel we're doing wrong. Let's turn around and take the diamond necklace back where it belongs." They do so; another chase speeds up an excellent comedy.
The Sporting Chance is a race-track picture, Lou Tellegen the dastard. The hero's horse wins.
