Pay Day (1922) is an American short film made by First National Pictures.
Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed, and starred in the film.
He notes that Monta Bell, a future director and producer, was engaged as a general assistant and helped Chaplin develop the film's scenario on paper prior to production.
This made it possible for Chaplin to make Pay Day in 31 production days (a sharp contrast to the five months required to complete his previous two-reel comedy, The Idle Class).
