This is one of many examples of one of the most popular of the earliest movie genres. Many of the Edison Kinetoscope films featured dancing acts that were popular at the time. (Other very popular subjects included vaudeville acts and boxing exhibitions.) For the most part, this one shares many of the features common to the other early movies of its kind.
The movie features a three-woman dancing act that performs an "Imperial Japanese Dance" that was supposed to have been based on "The Mikado". As with the movies of other dancers like Annabelle (Whitford) Moore and Amy Muller, this was filmed inside Edison's 'Black Maria' studio. These dancers also had distinctive costumes, which included streamers and fans.
The main difference is that most other dancing acts in the early Edison features starred a solo dancer, who had the stage to herself, whereas these three are limited in their movements by the need for all of them to stay within the camera frame. Another drawback of the studio setting is that (at least in the non-tinted version) the black (or dark) streamers are often barely visible against the black background, so that the footage pretty much loses whatever effect the contrasting colors of the streamers were supposed to have had.
The material itself is actually rather bland, but these consequences of the Edison studio's limitations might make this somewhat interesting as an example of some of the less obvious decisions and difficulties involved in early film-making.
