The Little Girl Next Door (1916 film)
The Little Girl Next Door is a 1916 American silent drama film about white slavery. It was directed by Richard Foster Baker and M. Blair Coan for Essanay Studios and runs about 6 reels. The film was released in May 1916 and is silent with English intertitles.
The story is based on the Illinois Vice Commission’s findings. At the time, coverage said the film features appearances by many Illinois figures, including two congressmen, several Illinois senators, the mayor and chief of police of Chicago, the investigation team, the Illinois legislature, and various social welfare workers.
Before it could be shown in Kansas, the Kansas State Board of Review required the removal of struggle scenes between men and the girls and a shorter fight scene on the stairs.
