Thcda Bara Hits at Self In Film
The spectacle of a woman walking
up to herself n laying her hands
threateningly upon herself while she
achieved in motion pictures. 1t is
done by Theda Bara in a forthcoming
Fox production, La Belle Russo"
which contains probably the most re-
markable double" scene ever at
tempted.
Doubles with which the public has
become familiar hav shown two pro-
jections of the n person on the
same film. the figures coming close
together-but always there has been
some white space between. Through
a new development in the making of
double exposure, Miss Bara, however,
actually places her hands on tho
image of herself taken in the first
exposure. Then, the second exposure
being a portrayal of the wicked Sis
ter menacing the good, the two face
each other at close range while the
former pours OF her wrath and
hatred.
