Skinner's Dress Suit (1926)
Louisville Center for the Arts, Spruce and Grant Streets, Louisville, Colorado
In this romantic comedy, Reginald Denny can't bear to tell his wife, Laura Laplante, that he's failed to get his hoped-for raise. Thinking they've now got money to burn, she buys herself a new dance frock, and him a lovely and expensive dress suit, so that they can attend swell society soirees. Fortunately, Skinner has picked up some cool new Charleston moves from a co-worker, and by teaching the latest steps to society big-wigs, is able to manage to keep afloat. Accompanied by Rodney Sauer on solo piano.
