Japanese Movie Queen Learns Of US Male Lovers
New York—(U.P.)—Shirley Yamaguchi, glamorous Japanese movie queen who came to this country three months ago to learn something about American movie love-making, plans to talk about teenage dating, not movie romance, when she gets back in Tokyo.
"In Japan the young girls do not know the nice way to make dates," she said in careful English. "It all so new to them, just since the Americans arrived. And they took your democracy wrong," she added a little hesitantly.
Democracy to the younger Japanese, Miss Yamaguchi explained, often means doing exactly as they please.
"They will not listen to their parents," she said. "I have many movie fans there, and perhaps they will listen to me."
She came to New York for a two-week visit, "to study more the drama, and to see 'South Pacific.' Both here and in Hollywood she has been amazed at the seriousness of the people and the somberness of their dress.
"Even the movie stars aren't wearing a special gorgeous dress when you see them on the street. And the women of America are
much more serious about studying in their spare time," she said.
"In Japan we have the wrong idea about America. We think everyone has much time to be gay. I was very much impressed with all the black dresses and the serious looks on the 'aces.'
As for the romantic appeal of American men, Miss Yamaguchi refused comment. "They work very hard and take care of their wives very well," she said with a smile.

A second program popular with students already proficient in reading and study methods was designed to improve reading speed. This program made use of a tachistoscope, a piece of equipment for which outstanding results have been claimed by U.S. Air Force, Army, and Navy reading programs. This equipment recently has come into general use in a number of universities. Several of the students taking this training made unusually high improvements in reading rate.
Services of the Reading Laboratory, 18 Fraser hall are available without charge to all students of the University of Kansas. Classes will begin Monday, Sept. 25.
Students may enroll between 1 and 5 p. m. any day this week through Friday in 18 Fraser hall.
