The Girl Without a Soul is a 1917 American silent drama film featuring Viola Dana in a dual role as sisters.
The film was produced by B.A. Rolfe and shot in the Fort Lee, New Jersey area. Rolfe moved his production company Rolfe Photoplays west to Hollywood in the wake of the 1918 influenza epidemic, but not before director Collins fell victim and died in a New York hotel room in October of that year.
This film is preserved complete at the George Eastman House Motion Picture Collection in New York. In 2018, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
