Synopsis

Biograph summary: A customer enters a barber shop to be shaved. He seats himself in a chair. The barber puts a cloth around his neck. As he does so, the customer's face undergoes a series of mysterious transformations. He appears first to be an Irishman; then an Italian with a heavy moustache; then a monkey; then a skeleton; and lastly a darky. The barber, of course, is amazed, and when he sees the darky in his chair he becomes very indignant and turns him out of the shop.
