None So Blind is a 1916 American silent feature film directed by Melvin Mayo. A Lubin film, it was written by C. A. Frambers[1] (Clarence A. Frambers). Direction was supervised by Captain Wilbert Melville.[2] It is "a condensation of thrills into three acts." The General Film Company distributed the film.[3]
