Apparently the japanese take pic

leans at least that would be the as
sumption from Scssue .Hayakawa's
statement that his performance in
THE Cheat" former Paramount pic
ture, which rendered the oriental actor
extremely popular with American play
goers. made -aina unpopular with some
of his countrymen.
This fact was developed recently
when Sessue Hayakawa asked Director
William c. De Mile what the nature
of his role would be in The Secret

picture.
"A Japanese spy" answered Mr.. DE

parently much impressed, not only by
the story. but by the individual actors.
Naturally their interest in the work of
one of their countrymen would be in
tense. and so 1t is probable that they
accepted the role of Hayakawa in the
former production as actual. in some
instances, at any rate.
Hayakawa. who pursued the part OF
his studies at the University OF Chi

his adoption, still holds a strong re-
gard for his own country and country
men. The thought of offending them
Is abhorrent to him and he Is always

that he will not be called upon to do
anything on the screen that might re-
fleet upon the dignity or honor of his
nation or its citizens.
