I just found another one. A pie fight in a very rare 1931 short film that is archived at the Library of Congress. Nobody has seen this pie fight before.

Gee, you must be reading my mind. Then there is no need for me to post it because you can now find it on YT.
The interesting thing about that short film is, the slapstick scene was directed by a "William Goodrich", which was a pseudonym used by Fatty Arbuckle. Fatty had been wrongly accused of causing the death of a Hollywood "party girl" and was rightfully acquitted of all charges, but his career was ruined and he was blacklisted by the studios, so by the 1930's he could only get work when he used a pseudonym.
The name was suggested by his best friend Buster Keaton who said he should use the name "William B. Good" (Will B Good) but Arbuckle felt that was too obvious, so he changed it to Goodrich.

Sorry
There are actually 2 messy scenes in The Lure of Hollywood (1931):
1) Phyllis Crane trips while carrying a large cake and plants her face into the cake. 2) A pie fight in a filming studio, where Rita Flynn (as the only woman) and bunch of men get pied.
On the picture with 3 women in a car, Phyllis Crane is on the left, Virginia Brooks in the middle, and Rita Flynn on the right.
