"Theodoela Goodman, known to the
world as Tbeda Bare, the amiable Cin
cinnati arlrl condemned by tbe cruel
cinema to live the pictorial life of a
woman who does not care, has come
back to California, where she loves to
make pictures." writes E. V. Durllnit.
special correepondant of the New Tork
Telegraph. "The k.od of pictures Theds
Is doing now could never be taken on
coalleas days In the East. As Joe
McOee. the El Centro poet, has said,
"Our Tbada ft) rettinr Bara and Bars
ach year.' Under the warm sun of
Southern California Tbeda can have ail
the clothelsse days she wants, even on
coalleas daya.
"Having shown how very little dif
ference there was between Eve and
Cleopatra sartorially. Tbeda Is now go
ing to portray another woman whost
fame has been told In song and story
tbeeo many years. The woman In the
case this time is none other thas
Salome. .Can you Imagine Theda as
Salome? I'sre yon Imagine Theda as
fcalome? Well, there Is no censorship
on thlnklnr: go as far as you like.
"Tbe story of Salome will be drawn
from every possible source as ss ths
ease In "Cleopatra." Theda had thought
of basing ber story on the Oscar
Wilde version, but after thinking It
over decided the thread of Oscar's story
was too slrndrr. Also, says Theda,
with n Mona Lisa, smile. Mr. Wilde
makes the famous dancer n maiden
without experience of tbe world whone
one grand passion was for the ascetic
and Ill-fated John the Baptist. And
that, of course. Is no characteristic,
for a vampire. Theda and her director,
J. Oordon Edwards, will get together
and create a version of Salome which
will make the boys, old and young, sit
up and take notice, and their wives
and sweethesrts turn up their noses,
and ssy. The brazen hussy. Leave it
to Tbeda.
"Miss Bara has just finished n picture
called The Soul of Buddha. She wrote
the story herself, and the only Inkling
she gave of Its character was in n con
versation about the weather back East.
Said Theda: The suffering due to th
cold In the East is terrible. During
tha making of "The Soul of Buddha.'
I wore, of course, very thin garments.
"With Theda came her sister, Lola
Barn, who Is not an actress. Paul Bara,
her brother, did not coma, so tha boys
can't make up a Job about tha pall
bearer Paul Barn being along. They
are going to atari on "Salome." next
week, and n lot of people will mfefce
their way out to tha studio to see the
picture taken when they should be In
their office working even as you

All AtMet Bill Hart,
William S. (better-known as BUI)
Hart, gives the Impression of being a
regular fellow, a big. husky, fearless
man. who likes the prairie and rough
life and want to throw away his file
and get dirt under his finger nails. Bill
doesn't wear white, hairy chaps, his
bandanna Isn t perfectly tied, and his
hair Isn t combed. He looks as If ha
Just came out the West", real stone-
featured cowboy, who rides n horse and
shoots a gun as though be knew how.
and not aa If ha were doing It for bis
salary- Huch la the description of the
famous Westerner of the screen given
by n well-known writer, which fits per
fectly tbe true character of this popu
lac star.
Born In Newburgh. S. T of English
parents. Bill Hart really grew up In the
West. Soon after bis birth his family
moved to North Dakota and from the
time he waa old enough to walk until
he was IS he chummed with cow-punch
era. Indiana and horses, learning every
thing there was to know about them
alL Although he passed his entrance
examination with honor, he failed to
realize his ambition to enter West
Point, due to the lack of a certain
amount of political prestige necessary
to secure an appointment at that time.
Ills next ambitions leaned toward tha
stage, but Just when William S. de
cided to become an actor every theat
rical manaa-er In the Eaat made op his
mind that ha shouldn't. Determined to
achieve tbe title of actor despite con
ditions be sold his closest treasures a
lot of medals won In nthletlo games
and with tha revenue purchased a
ticket to London, where he soon began
to mold his future. At the age of. 1
he returned to New Tork. where he
finally made his appearance for the
first time on tbe American stage In
Hamlet." tbe remuneration for which
ran 111 n week. Before be was five
years older he was supporting Modjeska
and shortly afterward played leads to
Julia Arthur and tha leading parts In
"The Squaw Man." "Tbe Virginian." and
other well-known plays.
Cpon the termination of bla engage
ment In "The Virginian." Mr. Hart waa
offered n position by Tom Ince, one of
his former fellow-actors. His Initial
screen character, that of a cowboy,
sultsd th Westerner more than any
thing In which be had ever appeared
and decided his future career, borne of
his most prominent screen character
isations that followed were evidenced
in such popular successes as 'The Bar
gain." 'The Darkening Trail," "Keno
Bates, Liar," "On the Night Statre."
The Disciple," "Hell's Hinges." "Be
tween Men." The Apostle of Ven
geance," and The Patriot."
Dong Gets A Bother GlrL
The latest Douglas Fairbanks produc
tion. "Hearln South." marks the en
trance of Art Bosson as a director of
Fairbanks' pictures. He is a pupil ol
Chief Director Allan Dwan. who agreed
with Fairbanks that Kosson was quite
capable of handling a production.
Catharine MacDonald makes her first
appearance opposite Douglas Fairbanks
In "Headin' South." which la a thrilling
story of the untamed Mexican border,
where everyone packs a gun. She re
cently completed a picture with Charles
Ray, the Ince-Paramount star, and
came well recommended to the Fair
banks atudio. She Is a native of Pitts
burg, and her first work on the Iegitl
mate stage was with Sam Bernard, fol
lowed by a New York engagement with
Al Jolaon at the Winter Garden. In
some of the scenes in "Headin' South'
he wears a Spanixh shawl given to her
by- her grandmother, who claims It
waa purchased In San Francisco more
than 100 years ago.
Miss MacDonald is especially fitted
for work In a Fairbanks film, being
very fond of outdoor life, and having
participated in several athletic tour
naments.
Frank Campeau. tha famous "heavy
of the stage and screen, who has be
come strongly Identified with Douglas
Fairbanks pictures. Is well cast in a
part described as "father to Trompus."
wBlch be created on the speaking stage
In The Virginian." His make-up, that
of a bold, defiant Mexican leader of a
rebel band of raiders, serves ss a con
trast to th straight costume worn by
Fairbanks. The latter dresses in true
Western fashion, rather than in the
manner of the typical motion-picture
cowboy with elaborate chaps and
trimmings. Douglas believes in real
ism, regardless of disillusioning the
film fan.
LylelTa Days Are Basy.
If there Is anyone who thinks that
the life of an actor Is a very easy one,
ail he need do to see his dream vanish
Into thin air Is to have a little talk
with Bert Lytell. In fact, for many
weeks It was nigh Impossible even to
catch a few spar moments of Bert
Lytell's time, for the simple reason
that he fiadnt any.

All during the late Bummer and early

When "Mary's Ankle" moved to Phil

Fllaslaar Rnasfaaa Perilous.
Th Importance of Pathe's big new
war film. Tha German' Curse in Rus
sia." taken by Donald C Thompson. Is
hown by events.
In New Haven Captain Thompson.
th famous camera correspondent, who
filmed the picture, said, in a front
page Interview, that all alien enemies
and suspects must be locked up at
once to prevent th spread of German
propaganda here, as In Ruisl-.
In New Tork Paul Culikoff was
sentenced by Magistrate Ten Eyck to
six months for hissing scenes of the
film which favored the allies during
its Strand Theater premiere.
Captain Thompson, as official corre
spondent of Leslie's Weekly, was In
vlted to New Haven by the Winchester
Engineering Club, and be spoke before
a packed house to which he also ex
hibited The German Curse in Kussra.
The reception accorded him and the
pictures was splendid and he told more
about his experience In filming Russia
In revolt than he has- ever been In
duced to do before.
Thompson was arrested ' 14 times
while snapping photographs on the
battlefields of EuroDe. He took 125.
000 feet of motion pictures and made
15.000 still photographs, and, though a
young man, is ranked in the forefront
of war photographers of today.
'I arrived in Petrograd at the be
ginning of the food riots that preceded
the revolution and was there until
after the Bolshevlkl got control," he
said. The Bolshevlkl are the result
of the German Intrigue. It is these
enemies back of the- lines who do more
harm than ten times the number on the
firing line. The country should make
no mistake. All German- or suspects
should be locked up at once. It'a bet
ter to arrest a thousand good Germans
here than miss on bad one who's at
large."
Kaanl Bay Bonds From Wilson.
To Fannie Ward, the star of "Inno
cent," the highly praised Path play,
went the distinction of having been
sold $50,000 worth of liberty bonds by
no less a personage than the President
of the United States himself. This la
how it happened.
.Miss Ward consented to go to Wash
ington on Liberty Bond day to sell

bonds on the White House lawn Every
one will remember what miserable
weather conditions prevailed on that
day. When Miss Ward arrived at the
capital the rain was descending in tor
rents and all hope of carrying out the
original Intentions of selling the bonds
out of doors had to.be abandoned. Miss
Ward, however, was invited to meet tbe
President. He complimented her upon
the assistance she was giving to the
great cause and spoke so eloquently
upon the necessity for every American
buying the bonds as liberally as his or
her means would permit that Miss
Ward said: "Mr. President, I wish that
you personally would receive my sub-
scription for 350,000 worth of the
bonds." That the President was greatly
pleased and accepted the subscription
goes without saying.
"Little Mary" Keeps Busy.'
Ordinarily the period known as
"'tween pictures," and which is the In
terval from the ending of one film to
the beginning of another, is a time of
rest, recuperation and diversion. But
for Mary Pickford, who recently com
pleted "Amarllly of Clothesline Alley,"
her latest Artcraft picture, under the
direction of Marshall Nellan, It was
none of these things. There was Just
about a weekjeT time "till "M'liss" was
started. Five days of this were spent
by the Artcraft star in being pho
tographed for special pictures at her
Hollywood home. The photographer
shared the week with dressmakers and
the Pickford dentist. Unfortunately,
stars of the screen are also subject to
those Ills of the flesh which call for
visits to the chair of thrills and drills.
Then, Just about the time "America's
Sweetheart" had become accustomed to
the daily round of fittings and sittings,
the call came from the studio that it
was time to begin "shooting" on
"M'liss," and, as a matter of fact, Miss
