ReceptionLike many American films of the time, The Family Skeleton was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required cuts in Reel 3 of four closeups of woman seated at table with men drinking and to reduce length by half of all other scenes of women shown drinking.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/90979/The-Family-Skeleton/overview|title=The-Family-Skeleton - Trailer - Cast - Showtimes - NYTimes.com|publisher=The New York Times|accessdate=7 January 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/493348/The-Family-Skeleton/|title=The Family Skeleton (1918) - Overview - TCM.com|work=Turner Classic Movies|accessdate=7 January 2015}} 3. ^{{cite journal |title=Reviews: The Family Skeleton |journal=Exhibitors Herald |volume=6 |issue=15 |page=27 |publisher=Exhibitors Herald Company |location=New York City |date=April 6, 1918 |url=https://archive.org/details/exhibitorsherald06exhi}} 4. ^The Library of Congress/FIAF American Silent Feature Film Survival Catalog:..The Family Skeleton 5. ^Catalog of Holdings The American Film Institute Collection and The United Artists Collection at The Library of Congress, (<-book title) p.54 c.1978 by the American Film Institute 6. ^{{cite journal |title=Official Cut-Outs by the Chicago Board of Censors |journal=Exhibitors Herald |volume=6 |issue=13 |page=29 |date=March 23, 1918 |url=https://archive.org/stream/exhibitorsherald06exhi#page/n568/mode/1up}} External links
