Black and white silent amateur films by Dave Tatsuno (1913-2006), a businessman in the San Francisco Bay area. Tatsuno's films, before 1942 and the forced exclusion of World War II, generally show family outings, sporting events, holidays, celebrations, and the family business.

This brief segment, from late 1938 or early 1939, shows an unidentified man standing at the entrance to the Tatsunos' home at 1625 Buchanan St. in San Francisco; Alice Tatsuno and an unidentified man on their front steps; decorations for New Year's 1939 (00:25).
