Putting Pants On Philip, is a landmark 1927 Hal Roach two reel silent film in that it was the first to bill Laurel and Hardy as a comedy duo. However, the recognised Stan and Ollie characters and costumes had yet to become a more or less permanent fixture. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Hardy) is embarrassed at the effeminacy of his kilt-wearing Scottish nephew Philip (Laurel).
