(Additional information from the Los Angeles Times, October 6, 1918: "Yesterday afternoon a big crowd turned out to greet Sessue Hayakawa and members of his company, including two bright little Japanese girls who shouted through megaphones, "Please buy a bond." Mary Jane Irving, an American sister in art, was on deck with the same message, which appealed mightily to the folks on the ground. Hayakawa made a stirring appeal for the sale of bonds. He said that although his color is different, and his features not the same as ours, he was 100 per cent American and then to prove it he bought $10,000 worth of bonds.")
