Two women flappers flaunt tradition and get their hair cut in a barber shop, during the "roaring twenties,"in the U.S.

Two women walk on a city sidewalk in the U.S. in the 1920s. They enter a barber shop (which usually has only men for patrons). Both women have "bob" short hair styles that are a considerable departure from styles of a decade earlier. They sit in the shop and read a newspaper, as they wait for the barber to finish giving a man a haircut. A woman goes to the empty barber chair as she explains, to the barber, how she wants her hair trimmed. The barber begins to cut her hair.

Fake Beggar, film by Edison Company.

A legless beggar with a sign around his neck that reads 'Help the Blind', hobbles along a crowded city sidewalk. A legless child hobbles beside him. People walk past the blind beggar and drop coins into his hat. A man drops a coin that misses the hat, and the beggar reaches for it. A policeman collars him as he picks it up. The impostor wriggles out of his coat and escapes the policeman. (Edison Company, 1897)
