Printed in Cleveland around 1913, this lithograph advertises a Biograph farce titled *A Barber Cure*, and its caption, "Mind your manners. He's a count," hints at the comic social pretense at the heart of the story. Biograph was one of the leading American film companies of the 1910s, and its short comedies were often sold to exhibitors through posters like this one, which were large, brightly colored, and designed to catch the eye of theatergoers. The poster's pairing of a couple with a scene of eating and drinking reflects how early films leaned on everyday manners and class-tinged humor to win audiences.
