THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, MAROH 22, 1 Courage to , Movie Beauties Will Need Follow Bara In Screen-to-Stage Leap| But Hér Success May Bring oMany = “Jills Tumbling After” Despite Dangers, By Charles Darnton. ‘OW that Theda Bara has made her fearsome leap from screen i to stage it remains to be seen Fhether her hazardous example is to be followed by other celebrities of the Yvelluloid world. This curious experi- Ment suggests appalling possibilities WiM every Jill with a reputation to it come tumbling after? The ‘Chances are against such headlong recklessness, After all, it must be borne in mind that the movie star of feminine per- Suasion is a pretty wise business woman. She knows she can go on making enormous amounts of money Without overworking herself, and she is not likely to run the risk ‘of losing her market value by displaying her Prares behind the footligats. Her il- usion is her fortune—or a lar; 7 oie ‘ge part So long as she flickers before the eye she has a certain mystery. She is many things to many spectators. But she may be nothing at all, or merely a talking machine, in a speak- ing part. No one knows etter than she that most photographs are flat tering, and that reality may breed disenchantment. To be sure, film stare exhibit them- selves in theatres devoted to their works from ¢ime to time, but even the wisdom of these appearances in the flesh is to be questioned. Noted actors have gained in interest by keeping themselves out of the public eyo except when on the stage. Rich- ard Mansfield, for one, seldom walked the streets, and when on tour shut If up in @ private car, or, at Now, this may not have been pleas- ant, but it was profitable. Movie actresses might well take their cue from Maude Adams, whose classic isolation has something of the dignity 1 @ religion in it. The emergence of Miss Bara in “The Blue Flame” has at least added to the gaiety of the season, a fact due to the extravagance cf the melo- drama in which she figures, it is only fair to say, rather than to herself. It is vastly to her credit that she managed to keep a straight face throughout the gales of laughter that swept the Shubert Theatre on the opening night of the play. Only an carthquake, apparently, could have shaken her grim purpose to carry the (hing through, The hilarious audi- ence had no terrors for her, even when she faced the ordeal of a cur- tain speech. As a vampire without a soul, Miss Bara certainly. seemed a woman without a sense of humor. It should be added that, unlike Dorothy Dalton in “Aphrodite,” she was compelled to bear the burden of the performance, and it remained for her to stand or fall asastar. That she has courage goes without saying, If other movie ladies take the trail she is blazing they will wed courage—lots of it. LABOR TO FIGHT CUMMINS. Railroad Men Antl-Strike Bill.
