Matsui mixed entertainment with education, plugged for democracy and world understanding. "Japan," began one of his histories, "is really a beautiful country . . .

(The biggest: Associated Transport's motor freight system, with a $25.3 million gross in 1948.) But that wasn't big enough for Humphries & Johnson...
