OPERA HOUSE TO-DAY
1heda Rara IN "Salon,s"

And now comes Salome. latest of
the sirens of the screen! Theda Bara
introduces her to US today for the
first time in gelatine form at the Op-
era House.
Since Mother Eve lured Adam to
eat of the fruit Of the Tree Of Life,
woman has played upon the heart
strings of man as the wind upon an
Aeolian harp.
Who does not know Of Helen Of
Troy, the woman who caused the
Trojan War? Although wife of King
Agamemnon Of the Greeks, she en-
shared Paris. son of the Trojan King,
with her inf1aming beauty, and was
borne by the infatuated Prince to the
Citadel Of Troy. Then came ten long
years Of blood and strife and the un-
timely deaths Of countless heroes.
And Dido. ravishing Queen of An
cient Carthage. Luring Aeneas
from his mission to found now
kingdom in Italy. she kept him long
cnthralled, and when her victim fl
nally sailed away, burned herself to
death before her subjects.
The baleful treachery Of the de
stroying angel is strikingly illustrat-
ed by the story Of Jezebel, Of Holy
Writ. Failing, as the wife Of King
Ahab Of Judea, to gain control'of Ma
both's vineyard. she had Naboth ar
rested for treason. convicted by false
witnesses and condemned to death.
Then the ruthless Queen seized the
dead mans property-a crime for
which she was cursed by the Prophet
Elijah and her name made an evil by
word forever.
When woman's evil genius in af-
fairs of state is mentioned, the mind
leaps to Lucretia Borgia, beautiful
plotter of Medieval Rome.
And there is Cleopatra. Queen Of
Egypt. and a dozen more Of COM
paratively modern days.
But Of all Sirens, ancient or mod
ern. Salome. Of the Scriptures, stands
alone. She is a peculiar type, and
ne:er. often as she has been sung
about and written of. has she been in

the screen by Theda Bara, according
to reports from the East. Today We
shall again feel her fascination.-Adv.
