Wajan (Dr. Friedrich Dalsheim and Baron Victor von Plessan), a sympathetic record of Balinese ritual, is much more fully clothed than its popular predecessor of six years ago, Goona-Goona. Its exotic climax, a witch-exorcising trance dance, gives pictorial point to the recent reporting of Caricaturist Miguel Covarrubias (Island of Bali) and Novelist Vicki Baum (Tale of Bali). Produced before either book was written, Wajan has been held up by years of litigation following the suicide in Germany of Jewish Dr. Dalsheim (The Wedding of Palo, The Head Hunters of Borneo), in the early days of the Hitler regime...

S. beauty who enthralled him in a London bar, remark that she is going for a morning canter, he appears on the bridle trail in full-dress clothes, mounted upon a cart horse.
