The Mayor of New Orleans, the Honorable De Lesseps Morrison, greets the Japanese girls — from left to right, Kikuko Sasaki, Seiko Fuzawawa, Tamie Kawamoto and Fumiko Shiba — to receive his scroll from the Mayor of Tokyo, where the picture was made. The city solicitor in Philadelphia accepts the scroll for Mayor Richardson, from the charmers who were also charmed with Philadelphia — and the Liberty Bell. Good Will Tour More interesting because it was conducted on the 15th anniversary of Pearl Harbor — with these stewardesses of the Japan Air Lines making friends and influencing people to appreciate MGM’s “ Tea House of the August Moon ” in our key cities. The Mayor of Atlanta— the Honorable William B. Hartsfield, and good friend of motion pictures — receives his scroll from the goodwill ambassadors. In Atlanta, the girls made music for television, with their native Koto, which is a long-string device played like a harp, with an announcer looking on.

Arranged at a low table, Japanese style, their shoes are also arranged outside, and you can readily see that the Suki Yaki, as well as the company, is much appreciated. € Instruction in the use of chop-sticks is necessary at a Japanese meal — and here Boyd Fry proves that he flunked out, and had to be hand fed, by an expert in the art. 30 MOTION PICTURE HERALD, DECEMBER 22, 1956
