Dear Michael,

Thank you for the further information, Michael. Nice work tracking it down! Sadly, tragic news, in the end.

I may purchase the book...still considering.

Sincerely,
Rush

Dear Michael,

To add to the mystery, it seems Mr. Nollen passed away in 2021! Perhaps his wife or an associate, completed the publishing process for this, his final book? He was a prolific writer and had a LOT going on! I looked at his Wikipedia biography and it lacks important personal information such as his birth and death dates. Aldo, it seems it has not been updated for some time. His information at Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is pretty vast. This is where I found his birth and death dates (1963-2021). Here is the address: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2429534/

Sincerely,
Rush

The information regarding volume 1 is correct:
It's about the actors and ends 1943.

You can read the first few pages on amazon. It says Benson Fong lived in China from 1933 to 1940. So it's not him in OPERA.

This book may hold a lot interesting news.

Vol 2 starting with Monogram years is planned.
