Summary
Pathe synopsis: From frozen bread to lightly baked dolls, the hobby of Mrs Jane Diaz, of Bayswater, London. The dolls, made of plastic, are perfect in every detail. Mrs Diaz even makes the clothes for them - and spends hours in museums and libraries doing research on the costumes of various periods, so that miniature dresses will be perfect.
