“Eskimo” To Be
On Screen Tonite
at Dream Theatre
Mala, the mighty hunter, lives in
happiness with his wife. Aba, and
their children. His skill keeps the
village supplied with food, he is the
respected leader of his tribe, and
benefactor of the unfortunate.
A stranger arrives in the village
bearing a gun, which he relates was
given to him for furs by the captain
of a whaling ship that the natives
call “The House That Swims”. Mala
resolves to visit the ship. He and
his family trek over the icelands,
bearing rich furs, and meet the
white captain.
The latter cheats Mala frightful
ly. In addition he gets Aba drunk
and attacks her. Mala is angered,
but others tell him the white cap
tain can do no wrong. So he accepts
the job of harpooning whales for
the captain, on the latter’s promise to
molest Aba no more.
While Mala is away with the whal
ers, the white captain again gets
Aba drunk. Staggering in the snow,
she falls. One of the sailors, out
hunting seal, mistakes her fur-clad
form for a seal and shoots her.
Mala, returning, learns of his wife's
death. Blaming the white captain,
he kills the man with a harpoon,
and returns to his village. Later
he finds happiness with two new
wives, one of them, Eva, loves him
deeply, as he loves her.
Meanwhile Sergeant Hunt of the
Mounted Police learns of the mur
der, and with a companion, Balk,
starts across the ice to capture Mala.
They are lost in a blizzard and al
most frozen. Mala saves them and
reluctantly they take him to head
quarters, not telling him what is in
store for him. He hunts for them on
the trip. They respect him deeply.
At headquarters, from the grulf
inspector, Mala learns his fate. He
may be hanged. A tribesman brings
news that there is no food in his
village, his family is starving. That
night he escapes from his manacles,
crushing the bones in his hand to do
it, and starts for home.
Unable to hunt, he finally kills
his sled dogs, and staggers on. A
wolf attacks him He kills the ani
mal with his bare hands for food.
Finally he reaches his village, to
find that his stepson is the standby
of the family and has become a hunt
er. The Mounted Police are on his
trail.
Commending his family to the
care of the stepson, he starts toward
the North, with his faithful Eva.
They travel on, making a spectacu
lar getaway across the great ice bar
rier and escaping the fate planned
for them by the white men, enemies
of their race.
