Osaka's Umeda Planet Film Library

[Sharon Hayashi]

Speaking of lost and found films, if you happen to be planning a trip 
to Tokyo soon, the National Film Center in Kyobashi is screening a 
Man'ei film starring Ri Ko Ran from 1942 on July 29 at 3pm and August 
14 at 4pm.  A summary of the film (number 19)  can be found at

Good luck with your research.
