Our take

Made at Chaplin Studios, this short is part of the output that the British icon wrote, produced, directed, and starred in for First National Pictures. A Day’s Pleasure is customarily hilarious, as Chaplin utilizes a slew of sight gags, primarily involving an enigmatic collapsible deck chair.
