Wiki.

A Pair of Tights is a 1928 silent comedy short film starring Anita Garvin, Marion Byron, Edgar Kennedy and Stuart Erwin.

The film was produced by Hal Roach and was the third, and final pairing, of Garvin and Byron after Feed 'em and Weep and Going Ga-ga.

Filmed in September 1928, the film was towards the end of the year. The script came from the prodigious output at Roach's studios and was originally intended for Laurel and Hardy but as the pair were already busy, the film was recast.

The plot sees penniless Garvin and Bryan on a double date with Bryan's boyfriend (Erwin) and his boss (Kennedy). The girls are hoping for dinner but the men are a pair of tightwads. The men will only pay for ice cream. Bryan's attempts to buy ice cream result in repeated loss of the ice creams to falls, accidents and other mishaps. In the meantime, the other three are trying to avoid the attentions of a policeman as there is no parking available at the ice cream parlour. The film ends with a mass brawl in common with many other Roach shorts of the time.
