JUST as Fannie Brice goes and per-
- fects an impersonation Of Theda
Bara as a vampire in the Follies,
William Fox announces his famous
"serpentine siren of the screen" as the
heroine Of that INFECTIOUS, tear-in-
spring drama Of New England life,
East Lynne" Miss Bara, minus her
gold-tipped Milos and with her arms
carefully garmented, will hold forth
at the Academy Of Music the first
four days this week
1t has long been in the minds Of
that benign majority whb have peri
odically beheld Miss Bara sprawled
on a leopard-skinned couch while she
beckoned married men to ruin via the
soul kiss route, that here was tai
ented actress going to waste. Because
Miss Bara was a successful vampire
in "a Fool There Was" it followed as
the night the day that she could not
ever be anything else.
I'm afordng Miss Bara an oppor-
tunity to side-stsp her fate-eyen in
east Lynne William Fox is con-
ferring a great favor on a most pa
tient public. But he is comforting a
greater favor on Theda Bara.

co tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday
