The scenes are in a barber shop where Professor Bing comes to get shaved. There is a good amount of funny business between the occupants of the emporium and in the excitement the barber inadvertently massages Professor Bing with the shoe paste. The first of the cartoons is "Dr. E. Z. Bear's Busy Day." He is visited by a giraffe, who has been stricken with "mushroomatis." At first, Dr. Bear is at a loss as to how to treat the tall animal, but finally gets a ladder, climbs it, and saws off the mushroom which has been growing out of the giraffe's neck. A leopard also comes in for treatment, which consists of hammering various vacillant spots into place where they remain, much to the comfort and satisfaction of leopard. "One Hundred Years of Fashion Slavery" shows the evolution of the present day garb for women. It goes a step further and shows the atrocity which will be worn in 1920. It resembles the abbreviated garment we read of in Genesis. "The Hicks in Nightmareland" completes the cartoons. Hercules of dwarfed proportions, undertakes to reproach the brawny janitor for the dearth of hot water in the flat. As Hercules delivers his tirade beneath the gaze of the towering giant, he gradually realizes his insignificance and soon dwindles away until nothing but a small puddle remains. The janitor, who has said nothing, sees the puddle and in characteristic fashion rubs the mop over it and then disappears into his flat. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
