Suddenly two beautiful Japanese women appear from behind them, and proceed to entertain us with some of their clever tricks in magic. First they take a large frame and place it in the foreground and in which soon appear different grotesque figures forming all kinds of amusing pictures. A screen is then placed on the stage on which are thrown shadows in miniature of Chinese acrobats who perform all sorts of stunts which are extremely clever and amusing. Finally the screen disappears and as the two women fade away, and we are left spellbound at the wonder of it all. Written by
