Scholarly Significance
It is clear that Pay Day (1922) is a very personal film for Chaplin. The most valuable thing about Chaplin's performance is the perfect blend of comedy and life, his smile and gestures can cause you to laugh, but you can't deny that when you stop laughing and think about it, what you are left with is not the moments that make you laugh, but rather the images that make you feel sad.
