Stage Sisters: Alternative Subtitle?

-
Dear all,

 I'm always unhappy with the English subtitles for TWO STAGE SISTERS.

 Yet, I refrained from performing as Benshi interpreting the film for you, since you are smart enough to make sense of the text. 

 Anyway, here is the YOUTUBE link to the film, subtitled by some Chinese learner who makes the translations even longer than the one we have...
Enjoy!
