Reception

Like many American films of the time, Back Stage was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required a cut of closeups of hula dancers and the actions of a bearded man backstage, and the scene of three women falling in the back of the stage and baring their legs.[1]
