Note

1. Discusses the work of the Japanese-born Michio Ito as an actor, dancer, and choreographer in Hollywood films of the 1920s and 30s, in relation to the period's contradictory American attitudes towards Asians. This study also examines Ito's own ambivalence towards his ethnic identity, and the development of his artistic persona as a modern dancer rather than an ethnic performer.
