I wonder if anyone can tell me something more about this four page article. It appeared in a Japanese magazine devoted to proletariat issues in 1930. Is it about Louise Brooks, who is pictured, or is it, more likely, about left-leaning director G. W. Pabst? Is the piece complete? I think so, but am not sure. Any and all help would be appreciated. Double-click on a page to make it bigger.
Lately, I have been working on a chapter in my forthcoming book, Around the World with Louise Brooks, which is titled "Louise Brooks as modan gāru."
Brooks was popular in Japan in the late 1920s. In fact, as I reveal in
the book, Japan was the only country outside of Europe were Brooks three
European films were shown around the time of their release!

Thank you very much to introduce the Japanese old article. These refer about some of Japanese actress in 1930, then is following the details "the Pandora's box" . I am a big fan of Lulu since 1986, although there is almost all no people who know about her and still love her a lot. I am looking forward to read the blog sometime.
