A sleeping tiger has his tail stolen to serve as a barber pole in this decent but unremarkable entry in the OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT series from Walter Lantz' studio.
It take about four and a half minutes for the tiger to wake up after the ugly deed is done, and meanwhile Oswald is back in his barber shop, dealing with customers and his animated barber chair and cash register. This was a period when the 'rubber tube' style of animation of the 1920s and early 1930s was growing stale, and the 'everything is alive!' style of gag was very popular. There is, however, something so bizarre about these two bits of animation that they seem mildly disturbing. Still, Oswald's manner of dealing wit his customers' beards is fairly classic slapstick adapted to cartoon animals, and makes for a worthwhile time waster.
