<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Most of these films are going to get at least a
passing mention in Midnight Eye's upcoming feature on silent cinema and
interview with Sawato Midori, which unfortunately is scheduled for after
these screenings at the beginning of July. I've only seen fragments of Mari No
Yuki (The Missing Ball), but this one in particular looks very interesting.
Also, for all Tokyo dwellers, Sawato Midori is giving a benshi performance of
Mito Komon (The Story of Raikunitsugu, 1934) next Thursday 30th May for the
Friends of Silent Cinema. Check <A
