By Virginia Tracy

The guest in our house said she
wanted to see all the pictures about
foreign countries that she could-the
war had made her feel so ignorant.
So when Norma Talmadge's "The
Forbidden City" returned to our neigh
borhood two seekers after cosmopolitan
understanding took seats before the
Great Wall of China, waiting for it to
fade out" and let them through. Mys-
terry, hooking power, passionate love,
smouldering in a fantastic sumptuous-
ness; cruel intrigue, with the mailed
hand always wearing its velvet glove;
an atmosphere of carved, shadowy
staircases for evil to Turk on and pol
Ished floors, Indifferent to bloodstains
showing dark in pools of lamplight; of
the silken, sad, uncertain rustic of each
purple curtain, behind which horror al
ways stirs-the seekers after cosmo-
politan understanding drank greedly
of this drugged wine, our own thirst
for which remained so unappeased that
the very next night we hurricdly be-
took ourselves to east Is East" which
was to give US not only story about
China but Chinese actors, with Lady
Tsin Mel, "the screens first and only
Chinese star" as the heroine.
Now, the story of east Is East" is
j the product of an Occidental brain, but
for US, in the vernacular, it might as
we'll have been Chinese: we never
understood word of it. The energies
of Chinese princess, belonging to
secret society for democratic propa-
ganda, in love with an American Secret
Service man and beloved by Chinese
prince, weave an incredibly long, limp
rope for us to climb down, and when
the action does tie itself into few
definite knots - something about
papers," Huns, wicked uncle, an
assassination or two, great deal of
travelling and fierce row at the finish,
with the Chinese lady knocking out all
the Hun gentlemen-when we did get
hold of any such knot we had to cling
to it too tightly for us to have any
good general view during the climb.
Perhaps "cliinb" conveys too stmu-
lating idea. 1t was really more like one
of those everlasting journeys-a night
journey in a day coach--where every

thing becomes confused and distorted
and innocent overcoats swing round in
the half light like bodies on O scaffold,
and at some jolt you start out of q
waking sleep with the idea that you
have reached your destination and find
you have only stopped at water tank.
The biggest jolt was when we woke to
see Lady Tsin Mel, hitherto the most
reserved and demure of actresses, sud
denly-and most notwithstanding
up the side of house, SO that we had
an instant's hope she was going to take
off mask and show us she was Doug
las Fairbanks. This dream, however,
remained unrealized.
The trouble is, of course, that not
single moment of sincerity has gone
into the conception Of east Is East;
nobody has really cared rap about
China, about democracy, no, nor about
Huns, either, The only idea has been
to patch together some sort. of story
for the exploitation of Chinese star;
the effort of getting it together with
out taking the slightest interest in it
has been too much to hide the patch
ing, and certainly it is too much for
the spectators. We really cannot
blame ourselves for being bewildered
by that story. but the bewilderment
we are still facing is quite another
story altogether.
We were struck, in the earlier ORR
entail part of the picture, by the lack
of Oriental atmosphere. Not in the
settings but in the cast 1t grew in
creaslngly strange that when all the
Chinese parts were played by Chinese
persons they should have so little of
the true Chinese effect. All our life
we have known spare, grave and self
contained ladies-the greater number
OF them intelligent actresses in small
companies feeling, with lips COM
pressed, that they have never had their
due-who were exactly like Lady Tsin
Mel; the same air of temperament
mingled with composure, Of self
reliance, of "repressed emotion"
which they were too refined to let
loose, so that you never quite
knew whether the emotion or onlv
me repression were really there. "She
must have been a long time in this
country" and we came to the same con-
ciuslon about an elderly gentleman

1t seemed a brilliant idea at first,
that of Interviewing Clare Briggs; for,
having written about James Mont

him up-yes, half way between the
water cooler and the letter box, if
you must have it-and preached the
