The Girl Without a Soul (film)

The Girl Without a Soul is a 1917 American silent feature film featuring Viola Dana in a dual role as sisters.

As described in a film magazine, Priscilla and Unity Beaumont Dana are as different as night and day. Priscilla longs for a career on the concert stage, while Unity is the family drudge. Ivor Jones, a Russian violinist, persuades Unity to steal some money from the village blacksmith Hiram Miller Walker, which he was holding in trust to purchase a new church organ. Unity, who is in love with Hiram, learns of the location of the money and restores it to the church during the trial of Hiram. Hiram is freed of the charge, and Priscilla learns that Ivor is but a deceiver.Like many American films of the time, The Girl Without a Soul was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors cut a scene with money being taken from a tin box, the intertitle You had better remain here and go away tomorrow, and a vision of the girl taking money from the tin box. ........
