Hiroshi Shimizu question

[ReelDrew@aol.com]

I am researching the great pioneer director, Hiroshi Shimizu, whose 
centennial is this year.  While I have excellent translations of the intertitles in his 
silent films, thanks to the help of several knowledgeable scholars at 
KineJapan, I am looking for one bit of plot information regarding his 1933 silent 
film, "Minato no nihon wa musume."  Following the scene in which the heroine, 
Sunako, shoots Teruko in a church, there is an intertitle that reads:  "To see 
what happened next, we must open up her diary and look."  A handwritten entry in 
Sunako's diary then appears on the screen, followed by a scene in which she 
is seen walking with her friend, Masumi, by the port of Kobe.  Does anyone at 
KineJapan who has seen Shimizu's film or has access to a detailed synopsis have 
information regarding the experiences described in Sunako's diary entry?  Did 
Sunako serve a term in a prison or reformatory, and for how long?  Or did she 
manage to escape?  
   Also, does anyone at KineJapan know the name of the actress who portrayed 
Yumie, the heroine of Shimizu's "Nanatsu no Umi" (1931-32), as well as other 
cast members of this film?
   I would appreciate hearing from anyone at KineJapan who would have this 
information.  Please e-mail me at: <A HREF="Reel Drew at aol.com">Reel Drew at aol.com</A>
