A true idea of the warmth of the reception
When Dr. Cook landed at Copenhagen, the Great Northern Company, quick to seize an opportunity, went in pursuit of the hero of the hour with a moving picture camera, with the result that they secured some remarkably good photographs of the incidents attendant upon the landing of the explorer in the Danish capital. Readers of the newspapers for the past few weeks have been regaled with verbal accounts of the wildly enthusiastic reception which the warm-hearted Danes accorded Dr. Cook. But it needed some such pictures as those under notice to convey a truer idea of the warmth of the reception. First of all we are shown views of the ship which carried Dr. Cook into Copenhagen. More exquisite photographs in respect of tone qualities we have not seen than in this part of the film, the remainder of which is simply an excellent record of Dr. Cook's triumphant progress in Copenhagen. The operator was fortunate enough to get Dr. Cook by himself, and so there are two or three series of good photographs of him on shipboard and elsewhere. Royalty, society and the populace greeted Dr. Cook, who is shown publicly addressing the people from the window of one of the Copenhagen public buildings. There are pictures of the Eskimos who accompanied him, views on his ship and many other incidents that took place in Copenhagen. As we have said the photographic quality of this picture is superb. Its topical interest at this moment should insure it a great success in the American moving picture theater. We understand that all copies have been disposed of. It only remains for us to congratulate the Great Northern Film Company on the celerity with which this picture was obtained and put on the American market. - The Moving Picture World, October 2, 1909
