- A short, hand-tinted promotional film made by the D'Oyly Carte Opera company to show off the new wardrobe and set dressing for the 1926 production of The Mikado. About six scenes from The Mikado are shown, then designer Charles Rickets steps onto the stage with a final look at the costumes and the film ends. The players in the production are legendary Savoyards, well-known from recordings of the period, but this is the only time a movie camera caught them in their roles, though sadly minus the singing. About four nitrate prints of this film are known to exist; two of which are at the BFI in London.

- Animation student Joseph Marshall interviews the musical director and the romantic lead of Hull Savoyards 2014 production of The Mikado.
- A Japanese nobleman was highly honored by the Mikado by being sent on a secret mission to obtain information concerning the plans of a foreign foe. Accompanied by his pretty young wife, he went to the enemy's country, where he hired a residence, and expressed his intention of making his home there. The information he sought was to be secured from a soldier of the enemy, who for a large sum of money had agreed to furnish data and papers which the Mikado desired. The envoy met with unexpected success at the outset, and flushed with his victory, began to dissipate, despite the remonstrances of his meek little wife. An appointment had been made for him to meet the traitor outside the fort at midnight, when the Japanese was to exchange a bag of gold for the papers. The Jap was not able to be there at the appointed time, being sodden with drink, and his wife, who found him helpless in the library of their home, realized that the Mikado's mission was in danger of becoming a failure at the last moment. The woman, although usually meek and timid, determined to take his place. She disguised herself in a suit of her husband's clothes, and kept the appointment. Unfortunately for her they were discovered, and as she escaped, she was shot and mortally wounded by a sentry. The importance of her mission nerved her on, however, and she managed to elude her pursuers and reached her home. There she aroused her drunken husband, told him she had been successful, but that the searchers were close on her track, and urged him to flee while she would remain and delay the enemy. The man, startled into sobriety, did as she suggested, while the woman, discarding her disguise, arrayed herself in her native garb, and calmly waited for the soldiers to appear. They questioned her without result, although they knew the man they sought lived there, for the traitor bad made full confession. She laughingly told them that her husband "was out," and she did not know when he would return. Finally, the officer in charge, enraged because a search of the house had revealed nothing, seized her roughly by the shoulder and threatened to lock her up. He felt something warm and sticky on his hand. He looked at it and saw it was blood. Then he realized that the person he sought stood before him. The woman made no effort now to conceal the truth. She knew that death was only a matter of a few minutes, but she did not regret it. Her last moments were made happy by a realization that the mission had been a success, and she died happy because she bad been able to lay down her life for the Mikado.
