John H. Collins (December 31, 1889 - October 31, 1918) was an American writer and director of the silent film era. Married to Viola Dana, his career was cut short when he died due to the flu epidemic in 1918. During that career which lasted from 1914-18 (although his final works were shown posthumously in 1919), he directed over 40 features and film shorts, and wrote the scenario for over a dozen more features.[1]
