THEODORA— Empress, Actress, HIS is the story of an actress who became an Empress; of aj heartbreaker who broke nations; of a bear tamer's daughter who| “tamed” an empire. She was Theodora. | f Theodora spent her childhood in the bear caverns under the| leircus buildings in Constantinople. When her father, Acactus, died, her | mother was left with three little children to support. Theodora was only “geven years old (this was in 515 A. D.), and she decided to help support the family by going on the stage. There did not seem much chance there for Theodora, even after several years of hard apprenticeship. For she was not pretty and she had a bad voice. She could not sing, and she could not learn to dance gracefully. She was a fragile wisp of a little girl, pale and thin. But in spite of all her drawbacks she scored a big success as a comedian. She made up for! lsck of beauty and skill by an audacity and impudence that caught the rough theatregoers at once. Besides her audacity, there was a nameless ohann about the ittle girl that won the hearts not only of the public at large but of scores of men who chanced to meet her. While she was still in her early teens she made a notable conquest by bringing to her fect Hevebolus, a great nobleman of Constantinople, But sh soon quurrelled with him and threw him over. One man after another s& her love—actors, nobles, rich merchants—but one and all were quickly cast asid Then she met Justinian, nephew and heir of the Emperor, Theodora seventeen. Justinian was twenty years older He was @ peasant b was his uncle, the Emperor. The uncle had Joined the army as @ pr and had f as birth, So vate soldier nt his way up to a generalship, and then to the imperial throne. And he had made Justinian his right-hand man, Justinian was a solemn, severe, studious person—Jjust the sort to lose his head over a fascinating girl like Theodora. He wanted to marry her, but the Jaw forbade a man of rank to marry an actress, So Justinian had the revoked. Then he married Theodora. A few months later the old p Emperor died, and Theodora and Justinian became Empress and Empe *"* Many an actress since then has married a title, against her.
