A Japanese Peach Boy (1910) Online

The story begins with the finding of a wonderful peach which comes floating down a small stream and is brought to shore by a little Japanese woman, who takes it to her home. It there transpires that she and her husband are still mourning the loss of a baby, and the wonderful peach when it is cut brings healing to their sorrow, for as the father's hands separate the two parts of the luscious fruit, between them miraculously appears the figure of a tiny baby. It is a real Japanese baby (which no one could by any chance mistake tor a doll) and the parents' joy is very great.

Light out of Fildon

A beautiful fairy story showing numerous scenes of wondrous beauty and many strange transformations, each more marvelous than the previous one and each another chapter in the adventures of the baby who was discovered in a peach. It is, perhaps, one of the most attractive pictures of this sort ever produced. It would be difficult to conceive anything more beautiful than the interior of the cavern, nor would it be possible to produce anything more attractive than the final transformation scene, where the humble cottage is changed into a beautiful palace. The contest between the boy and the ogre is thrilling, and when virtue triumphs, as it always does, the audience is ready to applaud. The details of this picture are so beautiful and so truly representative of what a fairy story is supposed to be that it will captivate old and young alike. - The Moving Picture World, February 12, 1910
