"London to the South Pole" portrayed Antarctic exploration. Robert Falcon Scott's expedition had died on the return from the Pole in 1912. Todd judged it "a fine production" that "deserved to succeed, but did not."
Like much of the Zone it went through strange changes during the season. Its overhead scenery survived: Scott's companions hauling their sledge back toward a ship wedged among canvas icebergs. Under that scene, other shows moved in: the "Model's Dream", "Shadow of the Cross", "Alice, that Strange Girl", and the Toyland Midgets with their Lilliputian Theater.
