Cast

Reception

Like many American films of the time, The Neglected Wife was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required these cuts in these three episodes: Episode 11, throwing brick down on man, stealing key from rack, stealing letters, and throwing man into burning house; Episode 12, the intertitle "Or I will have you ejected by complaining that you are what you are -"; and Episode 13, thugs shooting from boat, two holdup scenes, attack on girl and gagging, shooting from window, and the intertitles "We must get the girl - to go back to him", "You have ruined Margaret Warner and the Veiled Woman", and "You will return to Kennedy or -".[2]
