Tomu, Itô Daisuke and others who had left Nikkatsu after quarrels with studio executives. The sound of the film was recorded by P.C.L., which - after a failed deal with Nikkatsu - was compelled to start producing films on its own in order to avoid losses.

<div>Unfortunately, I can't just run out and buy the book you mentioned. I'm working on a deadline. I'm not asking for exhaustive details on Sachiko Chiba--just the most elementary facts which you can find on a prominent actress of her generation in almost
any major film-producing country in the world. If this were a famous 1930s actress in the Egyptian, Indian and Chinese cinemas of those years, for example, all I would have to do is Google her name and find the most basic facts (and probably a lot more) in
English as these other great cinemas of the East have far more of an Internet presence than that of Japan, it seems. I had earlier posted here asking if Sachiko Chiba was still alive, and, if not, when she passed away. At that time, even that information was
not readily available at a standard source like the IMDB. After a member of KineJapan kindly supplied me (and the public in general) with that information, I note that the IMDB subsequently picked up on that and now carries the date of her passing. So again,
I would like to know if she began her career in the theatre, if she appeared in any silent films at the start of her career, and if she continued on in some other branch of show business after leaving the screen or did she pursue some other occupation in later
years.</div>

<div>For what may be the final post of the year on a website I have, I've been planning to pay a (very belated) tribute to outstanding film actresses born in 1911. However, in searching for basic information on Sachiko Chiba on the Internet, including Google
book search, I seem to have run into a barrier. Can anyone give me data on any of the following: what was Sachiko Chiba's background? Did she work as an actress in the theatre prior to her entry into films in 1933? Were any of her early screen appearances
in silent films? Why did she stop making films after her last screen appearance in 1944, two years after her divorce from Mikio Naruse? What did she do after she stopped making films? Did she work in the theatre or on radio and TV? Or did she have some other
occupation outside of show business? Did she remarry? Assuming as I am that she was retired in her last years, does anyone know here for approximately how long?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm hoping I can get at least some answers to these questions from the very knowledgeable people here regarding Sachiko Chiba.</div>
