The Dome Doctor (1925)

 A hairdresser salon stands next door to a grocery store and the two respective owners are constantly getting into conflict. The salon's owner has a son and the store's owner has a daughter; son and daughter are in love with each other.

This is a superior slapstick comedy, with some unusual elements such as a stop-motion animation sequence and a surreal lightning chase in the final section. The title probably refers to the protagonist's hair-growing procedure, though that slang expression normally designates a psychiatrist.
