"NORTH OF SO" ONE
OF PICTURE SUCCESSES
Splendid Reproduction at jefferson
Theater Monday and Tuesday
With Daily Matinees

In the reproduction of "North of 53,''
which will be shown at the Jefferson
theatre Monday and Tuesday, with
matinees daily, there are many thrill
ing incidents as well as innumerable
educational features to be observed
The motion pictures illustrating the
subject, North of 53,'s deals entirely
with the life and habits of native In
dams and Eskimos in Alaska as well
as the invasion of the white man. In
that comparatively unknown country
the white man who invades portions of
Alaska comes in contact with many diff
fcult situations, as well as different
tribes of Indians and EslSimos.
The Eskimo is very superstitious and
tries to explain all the phenomena of
J creation by myths innumerable. One
! of these great supersitions is, That the
mighty winds are caused by two great
giants at either end of the earth con-
stantly blowing egainst each other"
! When one of these giants stops for a
moment the other has apparently gained
supremacy, which they believe ac-
counts for the veering of the winds.
Each year when the first bull walrus
is killed by one of these Eskimos, its
head is brought to the burial ground
in the vicinity of the village and Is
there sacrificed to the land. The Eskimo
believes that this will bring another
herd of walrus back to the same feed
. ing place each year, and since the wal
rus has been always more or less plen-
tiful, they seem to have good reason
for this belief. and continue the same
operation from year to year. On close
examination about what is called wal
: rus Head cemetery over 100 skeletons
were found, which bears out the fact
. that the natives have been following
this queer belief for over a century.
