Skinner's Dress Suit is a 1926 American silent comedy film produced and distributed by Universal Pictures and starring Reginald Denny.
[3] As described in a review in a film magazine,[4] Honey (La Plante) idolizes her husband Skinner (Denny) and makes him demand a raise which is refused as Jackson (Braham), the biggest customer, has withdrawn his business.
As the bills begin coming due, Skinner is fired but before he has a chance to tell Honey, she whisks him off to a society dance at a swell hotel.
Skinner and Honey's social triumph comes when they teach the jazzy steps of the Charleston to the village "society swells," and soon an assortment of people are lined up trying bravely to master the intricacies of the dance.
The next morning his ex-bosses are camping on Skinner's trail begging him to come back as a partner in the firm, and he pretends that he must give his bosses' offer due deliberation.
