Old film rejection slip: "All scenes of an unpleasant nature should be eliminated"

This undated form rejection from Essanay Film Manufacturing Company (which was in existence from 1907-1925) is a sweet little snapshot into the mores of the time — and the bits that haven’t changed since. According to the Old Hollywood Tumblr, “[Essnay is] mostly remembered today for its series of Charlie Chaplin films.”
