<DIV><FONT face=Arial>More help please on the 'Suzuki' stills. There's a
batch in the Jan '29 issue, which makes them too early for the films mentioned
by Alex yesterday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>One is labelled 'From <EM>Bamboo</EM>, a comedy made for
Universal in Japan by J. Shige Sudzuky.'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Firstly, there's no title on the JMDb for <FONT
face="Times New Roman">鈴木重吉 </FONT>list that looks like 'Bamboo' (or, for that
matter 'Planet' or 'Capital Punishment').</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But I thought the company would give me a clue on

JMDb is the company, and here are my guesses :-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=cmp><FONT face=Arial>His first ten:</FONT> 松竹蒲田 - <FONT

<DIV><SPAN class=cmp><FONT face=Arial>Then 'Hansai, acting for Universal'
?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=cmp><FONT face=Arial>and would you take the next two as
abbreviated and meaning the same thing ?If they are, can anyone suggest
connections between 'The Blue Moth', 'The Skylark' and 'The Coward' ??? and the
titles in Close Up? Are stills published elsewhere for these films
?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=cmp><FONT face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=cmp><FONT face=Arial>And finally, is there a handy source for
Japanese company names for a bluffer like me, please ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
