Black and white silent amateur films by Dave Tatsuno (1913-2006), a businessman in the San Francisco Bay area. Tatsuno's earliest films, taken from August-November 1936 while he was an undergraduate at the University of California, Berkeley, show family, church, and school activities.

This brief segment, from September 1936, shows three unidentified young men with Tatsuno's sister Chiye, in an apron; standing on a deck at the Tatsuno home (1625 Buchanan St., San Francisco), she holds a black cat; a newborn kitten (00:33).

Tatsuno's notes on this clip: "Home. September 1936."
