Her Soul's Inspiration is a 1917 Americansilentdrama film directed byJack Conway and starringElla Hall, Marc B. Robbins and Dick Ryan.[1]
The heroine Mary Weston (Ella Hall) seems to have been born with music in her feet. She is always dancing, and in virtue of a promise made to her dying mother, her father sells his farm and invests the proceeds in a traveling show, so that Mary may realize her ambition. However, her father dies and Mary was robbed of her inheritance by Madame Le Rue, a member of the company. Mary, who had her father's confidence, enters upon a career of vicissitudes and penury, in which two men, Silent Bob and Phillip Carstairs, help to shape her character, until the time arrives when the usurper is brought to book, and Mary comes into her own.
Three of the five reels were found in theDawson Film Find in 1978, and are currently held byLibrary and Archives Canada.[2]
