Cleopatra is the remarkable cos

garb is peacock dress, in the

peacock was used. This is one of
the most beautiful and expensive
costumes Theda Bara wears in
this picture. We could write for a

picture and would not half de-
scribe it SO all we will say on that
subject is that it is historically
correct in every detail.
