Censorship

Like many American films of the time, Souls in Bondage was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Ohio Board of Censors required a cut of two intertitles, "I'll kill you" and "You fool," and of the shooting of woman. The Pennsylvania board required so many cuts that the film distributor chose not to exhibit such a mutilated film in that state.

Preservation

With no prints of Souls in Bondage located in any film archives, it is a lost film.
