    Hilarious
    Karl Valentin plays here an idiotic barber (who looks like a thin shoe-lace with an enormous nose) and only that image of seeing him as a barber is worth seeing.

    It's a bit hard to catch up with the story in this short, but the crazy images of Valentin: chopping a customer's head in mistake, hair-cutting a professor in Chinese style... are pretty damn funny. Those images come with some neat old simple effects and photography.

    It's hard to get a chance to see many Valentin's movies but if this one is reachable to you I recommend you to see it. Especially if you like those old silent slapstick flicks (Valentin's hero was Chaplin).

    I adored it.
