Censorship
editLike many American films of the time, Souls in Bondage was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Ohio Board of Censors required a cut of two intertitles, "I'll kill you" and "You fool," and of the shooting of woman.[2] The Pennsylvania board required so many cuts that the film distributor chose not to exhibit such a mutilated film in that state.[3]
