A Jap team both small and one a girl who exhibits a excellent show of arts of fencing, jiu jitsu and self defence. The pair open with broadswords, this being followed by a demonstration of the five deadly points in fencing. A card detailing that holds the name of the girl as Miss Ai-San. The points are shown by the use of sticks instead of swords. Jiu Jitsu stunts follow, the girl throwing her partner any number of times and in all fashions. The self-defence stunts
end the routine, the man doing a thug and Miss Ai-San gowned as a lady. She again takes care of herself by jiu jitsu tricks, making the man throw away his revolver and then making
him succumb after he attempts assault, aided by knives. The act is a novelty, carried through with speed. It will fit small time nicely and might do for opening the better shows.
