NOTABLE FILM
 OF SC0TT'S TRIP
Most Remarkable Pictures of Last Journey of the Discoverer of the South Pole to Be Shown at Empress Theater

What is without doubt the most
 remarkable series or motion pictures
 ever manufact ctured are those present.
 ing an indisputable pictorial chrono!-
 ogy of the late Captain Robert Fal-
 con Smiths memorable expedition to
 the South Pole. This statement is
 not taken from any advance notices
 that have been sent out relating to
 the remarkable films, but given as
 the honest. unanimous opinion of
 those who sat in the darkened Elm
 press theater after the regular Sat
 urday night show and saw demon
 stration run of the pictures upon he
 screen of that motion picture and
 vaudeville house. And so impressed
 was Manager Reeves with the pie
 lures, he at once closed a contract
 for the showing of the films here on
 Thursday, Friday. Saturday and Sun
 day evenings next. The exclusive
 right to show these pictures in the
 west is held by Max Albert and H.
 Hunter, who accompany the films
 wherever they are shown.
 So remarkable have the films been
 considered no less eminent nan
 that Charles B. HanfOrd, known to every Phoenix theatergOer as
 ShdKeSpedredn dClOT, lelt lIlc 0IoSN to deliver a most graphic lecture Ut the Coliseum in London, the Lyric theater in New York and the Gar rick theater in Chicago and in the larger cities of the coast.
 It will be recalled that Captain Scott gave up his life In attempting to complete the hazardous trip. The expedition was fitted out in London. He and four of his companions per ished after successfully reaching their goal when within eleven miles Of succor on their triumphant return.
 The animated pictorial record of the jOurney-taken up to within 12 1 degrees of the Pole-Was made by l MT. Herbert c. Pointing, Fellow of | the Royal Geographical society. a | famous war correspondent and now | recognized as the foremost photo 1 grapher of the world. He had taken | his camera to thirty different climes but the opportunity to record events | in a hitherto unknown land came to him as the crowning achievement m | his life.
 There are so many striking and | astounding features among this series of pictures that to dwell upon any one or any small number of the whole seems quite inadequate when once the entire exhibition is viewed MT Pointing made all told more than 25 Ooo feet of film in the Antarctic and recorded 1900 views on plates The entertainment is divided into four parts.
 First of all is shown the elaborate nreparations made for this. the great est of all Polar expeditions; the ..Terra Nova" the sturdy little WhaI- inc shin used by the explorers Is shown leaving New Zealand, breaN- ing her way later through the l'e fIoes. pIunging along the bluffs or tho Great Ice Barrier and landing ner stores on the Polar continent. III this and the second and third parts are shown the daily routine at ti9 winter base, and it is there that MT Pointing was able to pursue ms re-
 markabIe and close studies or Ihe
 animal life of the region He shoWS the skua gulls, the grotesque Adti!e penguins and other creatures of thiS frfgid Kingdom of Jack Frost.
 Great attention was paid by the motion photographer to the geo graphical and geological interest m the land. His picture taken by the light of the Midnight Sun and show ino the Antarctic volcano Mt. Ere bus in eruption is acknowledged master feat in camera art. The last part is given to intimate views or Capt. scott and the four men Who formed with him the actual Polar party. These men are seen camping in the very tent which later proved their tomb and wriggling into the reindeer sleeping bags that were destined to become their shrouds. MT. Pointing accompanied the third relief party-the group that went with the Polar party to within F degrees of the coveted goal. There the gal | Iant five hastened into that great l snow and ice-clad unknown and from which they never returned.
