                <text>A review of the film The Viking on page 14 of the Adelaide newspaper â€˜The Advertiserâ€™ on October 17, 1929. The film was about Lief Eriksson, or Leif the Lucky, the leader of possibly the first group of Europeans to reach North America. The review is positive, describing the film as â€˜a remarkable screen achievementâ€™, featuring dragon ships and Viking dress and armour. The reviewer also notes that Lief had a saga written about him, although the saga (story) that provides the most information about Lief is the saga about his father, Saga of Erik the Redâ€™s.    </text>

                <text>A film review in the â€˜Camperdown Chronicleâ€™ on August 24, 1929 for â€˜The Vikingâ€™. The review is featured in the â€˜Camperdown Theatre: Tonightâ€™s Picturesâ€™ section on page 5. Unlike other reviews of the film, this one focuses on the main actors (for example, â€™Pauline Starke dyed her Titian hair to appearâ€™) and characters (Leif Eriksson and Helga, Erik the Red, his wife Thorhild) rather than the ships and costumes. Erik the Red is described as â€˜the pagan ruler of Greenlandâ€™, while the supporting cast who play â€˜the Viking types of Norsemenâ€™ manage to create â€˜an appearance as of a lost tribe brought back to lifeâ€™. This is one of many reviews (some of the others can also be found on the â€˜Medievalism on the Pageâ€™ section of this website â€“ see Viking Memories and The Viking) which appeared in newspapers around Australia for what was evidently a very popular film.</text>
