Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Section one of this picture deals with children of Japan, and there are none more interesting. Leaving school each day they are obliged to salute their teacher goodbye. After school the games of “Menko” and “Jump Jimmy” are enthusiastically indulged in. And not the least interesting of Japanese children is the street actress, She performs in a manner that appears strange to us, but that draws a great crowd in the streets of a Japanese city. Her antics are wonderful, considering her extreme youth. Japanese at work is the second section. In the kitchen; at the sawmill; the street cobbler; the mussel fishers of Yokohama, and the Japanese hair dresser, all of which pictures show why the Japanese people, though lacking in stature, are superior in skill and agility to almost any other race.
