Japanese dancers perform for Edison...
6 July 2014
William Heise and W.K.L. Dickson film three female Japanese dancers. They do subtle dance moves that involve some twirling and fan waving. The ladies are dressed in formal Japanese get ups.

Not much goes on here not recommend more than any of the other ninety-plus shorts produced by Edison's studio in 1894. Basically any vaudeville or stage performer from New York was able to get a chance in front of the camera. Edison and company were in need for shorts to fill their Kinetoscope business. Heise and Dickson just set up the camera and let the performers to their thing. Later in the year they would move to filming actual scenes.
