Censorship

When The Border Patrol was released, many states and cities in the United States had censor boards that could require cuts or other eliminations before the film could be shown. The Kansas censor board ordered a cut of an intertitle with the caption "Looks like sheik's loosing his sex appeal." [2] The Kansas board was noted as eliminating all captions in films submitted in 1928 with the phrase "sex appeal."
