November 3, 1917 The weather cleared today and bright sunshine prevailed. I tried to find more lantern slide makers but failed, although I found one photographer who makes them to order from his negatives. After dinner I took a rickshaw to Theatre Street, which is half an hour away across the large canal. I was surprised to find Theatre Street packed with Japanese wandering up and down and the shops and fruit stands open. Great flags bearing Japanese words were displayed on poles overhanging the street. This part of Yokohama thronged by people at night while Water Street and Main Street near the hotel are dark and deserted. Ralph Turner, the reporter on the Japanese Advertiser, who came over with me 18 months ago on the Tenyo Maru called for an interview.
