A nightclub or variety stage act named "A Night in the Arctic". The airship "Norge", commanded by Roald Amundsen and Umberto Nobile overflew the North Pole on May 12, 1926. The aircraft in this image represents Commander Richard Byrd's Fokker trimotor "Josephine Ford". Byrd and Floyd Bennett flew over the Pole on May 9, 1926, although some question whether or not they actually reached the Pole.
