Cast

Censorship

Initially, The Silent Lie was rejected in it's entirety by the Kansas Board of Review, but upon review, it passed with several cuts. The scenes shortened were of a dance hall, gambling, and the scenes removed completely were of spitting, changing money, a struggle, and an intertitle saying "I paid you once." [6]
