Reception
Like many American films of the time, Her Excellency, the Governor was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors required the cutting of an intertitle that stated, "You're around her quite often - why don't you compromise her?"[2]
gollark: I lied.
gollark: You could always play Chess But Good.
gollark: I'm pretty sure I only won because the other person was distracted and didn't realise they were giving me their queen at some point but whatever.
gollark: I'm busy for the next 20 minutes but sure.
gollark: I've played one entire chess game, which I won, so I'm better than you.
