A Modern Courtship (1910)
Sue has a strong objection to marrying a bald-beaded man, and when she discovers that her dear Jack has a small bald spot on the top of his head she is horrified and immediately dismisses him. Being assured of incipient baldness by many of his friends, Jack secures some of the remedies recommended, applies them to the bare spot, and after a month sees that the baldness has extended, not to mention the odors with which the lotions are infested. "Bah!" He throws the stuff out of the window and vows it is no good. The sounds of the crashing glass has hardly died away before a slick individual enters, displays and eulogizes a great hair restorative, "BALDY'S HAIR TONIC; Never Fails and Bound to Produce Results." Jack buys a bottle, applies the liquid regularly and finds at the end of the week he is balder than ever. "A wig for mine," says Jack, and he gets one, a perfect fit and a perfect beauty. He meets the "Baldy Hair Tonic" man, who is delighted with the fine head of hear Jack has raised and attributes it to his tonic, insists upon Jack going to a photographer to record what can be done with the "Baldy Hair Tonic," and makes it worth Jack's while to sit for his portrait; it will make a great "ad" and business booster. If he could fool the tonic man he can fool Sue, and she certainly will fall for the luxuriant hirsute exhibit. This is what he thinks. Sue fixes herself to receive him, ornamenting herself with a cluster of false lulls to make herself more attractive. Jack calls; he and Sue engage in a tete-a-tete. She sees his hair, is delighted, and fondly strokes his head, and he tenderly fondles her curls. Absorbed in love's reveries, she dislodges Jack's wig, grasps it, jumps up, pulling off her curls and leaving them in Jack's hand. Two of a kind; one on each. She calls it an even break, laughs, and they become re-engaged, sealing their reunion with an affectionate kiss.
