Reception
Like many American films of the time, The Hobo was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors required a cut where the man blew his nose in a cuspidor.[2]
gollark: But they could, I don't know, pass it onto employees/other companies, and they could... blackmail you, pass it onto repressive governments, who knows.
gollark: Well, that's unlikely.
gollark: I mean, I expect to live for a while, maybe we'll have some way to work around stupid stuff like "aging" before I would otherwise die.
gollark: OR IS IT?
gollark: I haven't ever died, so I don't care about the possibility of death.
