oh! for a satisfactory substitute for
" that much overworked word
different! For Theda Bara is differ
ent. and we want to express it differ
emily and don't know how.
It sounds so banal merely to say that
she is different, and yet she is just
that-so very different from what we
imagined. We have always cordially
detested vampire ladies, and we felt
that Miss Bara must be singularly lack
ing in humor to 90 on killing men and
wrecking homes and carrying on gen
orally as Theda Bara does on the
screen.
The fact that fifty men have been
ruined by the Para wiles; one hundred
families have been made to suffer;
fifty children-count 'em, ffty-have
begged Theda to give back daddy; one
hundred and fifty wives have begged
her to give back hubby; one hundred
men have served prison terms thanks
to the Bara eyes, and eighty men have
attempted to kill Miss Bara, some sue
cessfully," made US feel that Miss Bara
could not be real human being at all.
We discovered her giving aid and
comfort to Buddie, the little black and
white goat which appears with the star
in "The Darling of Paris" Buddie was
i'll, probably from eating too much
candy, and Miss Bara was much con-
cerned.
at isn't my goat, you see. 1t belongs
to the property man, but he likes me so
much that he follows me all around"
Here we refrained from saying some
thing about having got his goat. for we
felt that was never the way to talk to
real vampire. And then Miss Bara
talked and we listened. and it gradual
~ dawned on us that Theda Bara was
a beautiful, charming, gracious wom-
an with a keen sense of humor and q
knowledge of every subject under the
sun.
Miss Bara is far more lovely of the
screen than she is on. Not the least
surprising thing about her is that she
has blue eyes, with black lashes nearly
an inch long. She is quite tall and
very slender and has exquisite feet and
hands. SO much for her appearance.
! Her voice is ever so soft and low,

and she uses such words as decadent,
exotic and volatile in ordinary con-
versaton.
81 love perfumes-the have a won
derful influence on me, and different
odors can make me grave or gay. Some
perfumes make me feel that life is but
a hollow mockery; Others fill me with
the joy of living. | think when one
of our senses is defective that a kind
Providence makes reparation by Civ
ing us another sense which is abnor
mally keen. You know. | cannot see
at least | cannot see as other people
see. To me the world is just misty
blending of beautiful colors. | see
everything as Whistler saw it, or, at
least, as he loved to have us see it.
No outline is distinct, and I am hap
pier. for cannot see the defects.
"Ann Haviland, who makes the per-
fumes to suit ones personality, wrote
and told me that she had seen me in
fume for me. She sent me some of
it, here it is" and Miss Bara dncorked
a liquid which was so pungent and sug-
gestive of incense that it almost made
one lightheaded. "That was before she
had met me, and then afterward she
wrote me that she had changed my
perfume, and she sent me this" and
Miss Bara let US sniff the new per-
fume, which was redolent of dewdrops
on hawthorne. Are they not differ
ent?"
We could have told Miss Bara, but
didn't, that the perfumes were not more
dissimilar than the screen and the real
Theda Bara.
you will think it strange when
tell you that do not care for the
pictures-that is, do not care to
watch them. do not believe that
ever have seen one Of my own pict-
ures in it's entirety. / care only to
make the pictures, and ] am unhappy
every moment l am away from the
studio. The continual striving to do
better work, the study Of the differ
ent characters, is TO me the most
fascinating thing in the world.
To-day have returned to ths
studio after a long absence in the
South, and | am suffering terribly
from stage fright. l have to portray
that poor, tragic lady of the camellias,
and long for it to be the biggest
thing ever have done.
81 must 90 on now in my first
scene in the modiste's shop. While |
am working please say fervently two,
four, eight, and | shall have success"
And then we learned that Miss Bara
knows all about the psychology Of
figures, or something, and their rela-
tons to the planets. Equipped with
the date of our birth, Miss Bara as
sured Is that if we would say one,
five, seven, We would receive what
ever we wished for. But there is
something wrong with Miss BSfa' o
system. We repeated the magic COM
bination and wished fervently for the
blue Paquin gown which Miss Bara
was wearing; and she smiled serenelv,
went on with her scene, and nothing
happened. So far as the ultimate re-
suits were concerned. we nigh. as
we'll have been saying double o.
