In Love with the Bearded Woman

1909

6min

Théodore (Max Linder) visits a fair/circus and becomes infatuated with a bearded woman in the show. He is so taken with her that he joins the troupe and performs comic bits (including dressing in a bearskin as a "performing bear"). While caressing the woman's beard, it comes off and, realizing it is false, he promptly flees in embarrassment.
