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.
One is labelled 'From Bamboo, a comedy made for Universal in Japan by J. Shige Sudzuky.'
Firstly, there's no title on the JMDb for 鈴木重吉 list that looks like 'Bamboo' (or, for that matter 'Planet' or 'Capital Punishment').
But I thought the company would give me a clue on 'Bamboo', and this is where I'm prepared to make a fool of myself again in order to learn something.  I take it that the unlinked name after each title on JMDb is the company, and here are my guesses :-
His first ten: 松竹蒲田 - Shōchiku
Then 'Hansai, acting for Universal' ?
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 ?

And finally, is there a handy source for Japanese company names for a bluffer like me, please ?

Roger
