Summary
The big dream behind the Chung Wah Motion Picture Company is to use cinema as the medium to cure China's ills, by the means of movieize-ing China. Recently, 'The Lotus Blossom,' a Chinese story by Mr. Leong, was filmed by the Wah Ming Company, of which Mr. James B. Leong, an Americanized young Chinese gentleman, was the supervising director. The picture featured Lady Tsen Mei, and she was supported by Tully Marshall, Noah Beery, and a company of Chinese players.
