WASHINGTON (UP) Japan
as come a long ways in making
i'ckcrs. but it still lakes a half
ntir for the hero to clobber the
illam.
Harry Keith, chief of the U.S.
nformation Agency's Japanese
in section, told me a thing or
,vo about Nippon's movie indus-

Harry himself is a flat-nosed,
td-bitten character who grew
Bp in Manhattan, was used to al-
fights, and still looks as
tjiough he could take care of him
aflf against a regiment of Marlon
frandos.
,He said the flicker deal over
there has been running along for
58 years. Today, six companies
Wake 90 per cent of the feature
jfjlms, wilh 70-odd independents
sharing the rest of the business.
I Harry, who has learned a bit
0( the Japanese tongue, ripped off
(icw, until he lost me. Shochiku,
two, daici, and sounds like that.
"According to Harry, the Japan
eje have, wonderful writers and
wonderful directors but they "do
not seem to get the actors to get
off their haunches fast enough."
Movie costs run up fast when the
actors stall.
i' There is a certain code of de
cency when it comes to woman
hood," my new friend told me.
"There is very little of the show
ing above the garters."
A good bit of the movies show
an all-male cast, with huskies
playing the parts of women. But
in a publication of the Japanese
industry, which I have at hand,
there is a picture of a lovely Jap
anese actress with a bare calf
and somebody balancing a glass
of something or other on her knee.
Japanese are avid moviegoers,
now that they have adjusted their
eyes to the flickers. There are a
lot of films that go back to the
knights of old, with the foot sol
diers coming in to rescue the fair
lady from the old lords.
"The knight always wins," Har
ry said. "There would be may
hem among the audience if he
didn't."
Keith quoted figures to show
that Japan has more than 5,000

.- Annual attendance, he said, Is
calculated at 885 million meaning
that every man, woman and
Joungun in Japan sits in the mov
ie house an average of 10 times
a year.
i Gross income during '55 was
(185 million.
