  • Aunt Jane's Nieces in the Red Cross
    Aunt Jane's Nieces in the Red Cross By L. Frank Baum AUNT JANE'S NIECES IN THE RED CROSS CHAPTER I THE ARRIVAL OF THE BOY "What's the news, Uncle?" asked Miss Patricia Doyle, as she entered the cosy breakfast room of a suite of apartments in Willing Square. Even as she spoke she pecked a little kiss on the forehead of the chubby man addressed as "Uncle"—none other, if you please, than the famous and eccentric multi- millionaire known in Wall Street as John Merrick—and sat down to pour the coffee. There was energy in her method of doing this simple duty, an indication of suppressed vitality that conveyed the idea that here was a girl accustomed to action. And she fitted well into the homely scene: short and somewhat "squatty" of form, red-haired, freckle-faced and pug-nosed. Wholesome rather than beautiful was Patsy Doyle, but if you caught a glimpse of her dancing blue eyes you straightway forgot her lesser charms. Quite different was the girl who entered the room a few minutes later. Hers was a dark olive complexion, face of exquisite contour, great brown eyes with a wealth of hair to match them and the flush of a rose in her rounded cheeks. The poise of her girlish figure was gracious and dignified as the bearing of a queen. "Morning, Cousin Beth," said Patsy cheerily. "Good morning, my dear," and then, with a trace of anxiety in her tone: "What is the news, Uncle John?" The little man had ignored Patsy's first question, but now he answered absently, his eyes still fixed upon the newspaper: "Why, they're going to build another huge skyscraper on Broadway, at Eleventh, and I see the political pot is beginning to bubble all through the Bronx, although—" "Stuff and nonsense, Uncle!" exclaimed Patsy.

Riis Hayasaka Fumio (1914–55) worked with some of Japan’s most famous film directors during his sixteen year career while winning numerous accolades for both his film and concert music, though his name and work are little known outside of his native country. Self-taught, he brought new ideas to Japanese music and was a key figure in the developments made in the post- war era and a major influence on subsequent composers. Hayasaka’s style blended traditional Asian musical elements—primarily Japanese, though he also studied Indonesian and Chinese music—with the Western orchestra, creating what he called a Pan-Asian style.

  • Wife of a Spy”
    Press release NHK Teams Up with Kurosawa Kiyoshi on 8K Epic Drama “Wife of a Spy” © NHK Tokyo, June 4, 2020 — This month, NHK’s 8K channel (the first in the world) will premiere an 8K drama by one of Japan’s most outstanding filmmakers, Kurosawa Kiyoshi. Wife of a Spy (114 minutes) is the first 8K production from Kurosawa, who has earned a global reputation for movies such as Tokyo Sonata (2008), which won the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival; Journey to the Shore (2014), which won the prize for best direction in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival; and Before We Vanish (2018). Kurosawa co-scripted it with Hamaguchi Ryusuke, whose earlier work includes Happy Hour (2015) and Asako I & II (2018) (selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival), and Nohara Tadashi. The story is set in the Japanese city of Kobe in 1940, just before Japan was caught up in World War Two. It centers on a wife who stays true to her own convictions amid the tides of war. Her husband, a trader, brings a woman back to Japan when he returns from Manchuria. When the woman dies, the wife learns her husband’s secrets and takes an astonishing course of action. The protagonist and her husband are played by two of Japan’s most popular actors, Aoi Yu and Takahashi Issei. Kurosawa Kiyoshi said of his first 8K drama: “Figuring out how to combine the abstractness of a past era with the real physical presence of people in front of the camera was a huge initial challenge, but the results were great.
