"REDISCOVERED: THEDA BARA IN “SALOME”, 1918" on YouTube
youtube
BREAKING NEWS!!
A few months ago a 2 minute clip from Salome (1918) was rediscovered in the Spanish Film Institue archive.
It has been restored with added Spanish intertitles (English translation below).
It has been included in a short video clip with 2 other clips (from different films) on the Spanish Film Institute Vimeo page.
After seeing so many stills from this film, to finally catch even this short glimpse into Theda's filmography is incredible!
Her magnetism is even stronger in motion and you can see exactly why she was so fascinating.
