'\Kivalina of the Ice Lands," which
comes to the Liberty Saturday and
Sunday, is an Idyll of the Arctic, the
tale of a man's devotion and a wo-,
man's steadfast love. For love is "not
a thing of race or clime, nor yet of
civilization.
"A thousand miles north of where
the last tree grows, within the Arctic
Circle, and on the northernmost tip
of the American continent,' living .under almost inconceivable 'hardships
with the winter temperature around
fifty degrees below zero, are the Eskimos who love the bleak desolation
they call home.
' "Enduring equally the hardships,
privation and misfortunes of the natives as part of the daily lot, Mr. Ross-
man, during two years of Arctic travel
and study, has in spite of the most
trying photographic conditions recorded the struggle !for existence of our
most northern cousins.
39.60 ". . . For the first time in the
history af Arctic exploration, a natur-i
al color film record of the Aurora
Borealis was obtained."
"Kivalina" is the name of the hero--
. ine of the photoplay and "Aguvaluk"
is the hero. Scenes are around Koog-
alook, an Eskimo village, and the
heart interest takes place in the igloo
of "Kivalina."
The heroine's name is pronounced
just as it is spelled—"Kivalina," accenting the first sylahle.

There seems to be some relief for

fran automobile license plates for 1927
are being "made by officials of the

by Warden H. H. Jackson. Approximately t,0O0;000 sets of 1926 plates
