In "Rickaha Rhythm" the audi-. ence is shown many slides of life in Shanghai, the combined Liver Hool and Monte Carlo of the East, Familiar pictures of the life of the city, its shops and big buildings the foreign and Chinese settlements and the population on the water, are shown, but what is extremely interesting is the contrast shown of wealthy Chineso men and women drinking cocktails in chbarets on the one hand, while others are seen in the sluma carrying on under terrible conditions of poverty.
