...turned against Communism, put aside his non-Christian first wife, married a delightful Chinese graduate of Wellesley who writes stories & poems for Asia, and himself turned devout Methodist. In Leningrad last week up spoke the Generalissimo's son by his cast-off non-Christian wife, Mr. Chiang Chin-ko, a Chinese now studying hard how to make Revolution.

...Wings reimbursed his parent. The Wings' camera shows Ahmang and Sai-Yu dog-paddling about the bottom of the ocean wearing handkerchiefs around their middles and picking oysters. They encounter surprisingly mild adventures when stranded on a cannibal island. The Wings also discovered a chipper little urchin called Ko-Hai. Ko-Hai was foolish enough (in Lori Bara's little story) to be bitten to death by a shark. After his funeral, Ahmang avenges this mishap by killing the shark with a knife. Samarang is a silent picture, with musical accompaniment. It is pleasing scenically and photographically...
