...office draw for at least 20 of his 35 years, handsome, open-faced Chinese Movie Star Huang Ho might well be called the John Wayne of the Far East. Already a big name in Shanghai before World War II, Huang turned his back on his homeland when the Communists took over, and, as the idol of Free Chinese movie fans from Java to Malaya, went on making up to ten pictures a year in Hong Kong and Formosa, often for the princely Asian salary of $2,000 (U.S.) a picture...

...white-supremacy neighbors just over the border in South Africa, he was "just another Kaffir returning to his kraal." To British officialdom, according to solemn agreement, he was a private citizen of Bechuanaland, with all the rights thereof, permitted to return at last to his homeland. But to a hundred thousand Ba-mangwato tribesmen whose kraals spread over 40,000 sq. mi. of Bechuanaland, Seretse Khama, 34, was still the chief. Last week, as a charter aircraft flew Seretse back from six years' exile in Britain, the Bamangwato, with their wives and children, crowded the airport at Francistown...
