Pay Day

 May 6, 1922, Menasha Record

Let's see what's playing at the Orpheum.  Fan favorite Charlie Chaplin graces the screen to the delight of Menasha moviegoers.  And once again, period slang befuddles me.  This may be a "whang of a picture" according to the newspaper or the exhibitor, but I can't safely say what that even means.  I'm sure it approximates a "winner" or a "blockbuster" or maybe even, simply a "hit."  Your thoughts, dear readers?.
