There's Music in the Hair (1913)

Ludwig Liebschnitz has it at his finger ends and when he calls upon Iolanthe McSwatt, she listens in rapture to his renditions upon the piano from Wagner. Eagerly she pours out her heart in acknowledgment of his great playing. He proposes to her and she immediately accepts him. He has a rival in Signore Staccato. Music seems to exude from every spear of his massive "bush." Liebschnitz is discarded and he swears vengeance on his rival. He discerns that Signor Staccato's hair is false. He decides to expose him. He writes a letter to Iolanthe, but she says, 'tis false. He pays her a visit, forearmed with a beautiful bouquet of roses, but to his amazement, discovers that Staccato is there before him. He gains admission to the house, sneaks up behind a settee upon which Staccato and his adored one, are sitting. Removing his tie from his collar, he attaches one end to the settee, and the other to a lock of Staccato's hair. When Staccato throws himself on his knees to declare his love, his wig comes off and reveals his bald head. Iolanthe shrieks in horror and falls into Liebschnitz's arms, vowing that she loves him with all the ardor and fervor of her soul.
