THEDA BARA’S
REMARKABLE
RISE TO FAME
Of particular interest to Fair
banksans is the fact that Theda
Bara, the famous movie actress,
is a 5 Her of Mark > .oodman.
iormerlv a resident of Mi h terior.
In the March numoe. of the
Delineator the following account
is given of the rise of this popular
actress:
‘ Yet the most remarkable rise
:o fame of all, is that of Theda
Bara, who within a year has
; merged from the obscurity of a
five dollar a day ‘extra’ to one of
the mots widely advertised stars
in America. Certainly there is
no better example of the light
ning like manner in which succes8
may strike an ‘unknown’ and
bring her to the foremost ranks
of her profession, and no more
convincing instance of the as
tounding revolutionary valuation
of peculiar types of beauty.
“The Fox studios experienced
difficulty in findig a type suitable
tor the vampire woman in ’A
Fool There Was,’ a picture ver
sion of Kipling’s poem. Girl after
girl had been refused the role,
because none looked the part.
Among the applicants was a
slender, olive skinned young wo
man with singularly attractive
yet curiously uneven eyes. To
this director those eyes appeared
to be capable of portaying wick
edness through the veil of inno*
cence, and he immediately engag
ed her.
“Yet such is the curious anom
aly of fictitious and actual types,
that Miss Bara is in real life one
of the most home loving and de
mure of young women, her great
est desire being to play sweet
ingenue characters — character-.

The director chose her beauty as
the beauty of the vampire type,
and the public received her as
such. A fabulous story to the
Infect that her parents were a
Trench actress and a Spanish
sculptor, and that she was born
in a glorious Arabian night, has
been woven to spread the illusion
jf an erotic temperament. A
luncheon interview was even ar
langed at which she was served
.ettuce and raw meat. Yet actually
she comes from Cincinnati and
her name is Theodosia Goodman.

t rade development is a fascin
ating study. 1 recall a voyage
up the Paraguay river when I
made the acquaintance of the
Guarani Indian women, brave and
industrious, and the most accorn*
plished head balancers on the
globe, ft is quite the usual thing
for a woman to carry a basket
on her head, filled with five
struggling turkeys and three
chickens, while she holds a young
ster under one arm, a large bun
dle of firewood under the other,
directs the progress of three
children, leads a stubborn burro
and smokes a long black cigar.
One day 1 followed a bronze
Hebe to her humble home by the
river shore and saw her bring
ill an American sewing ma
chine and stitch away merrily.
Her own garment consisted of a
white cloth resembling a sheet,
worn fdoorish fahion; but this
new creation was to be a skirt,
in latest Buenos Aires style, for
little Maria who attended the
mission school and had never
learned to smoke
Women are the same the worla
over. In metropolis and hamlet,
m brilliant court and forest wilds
they love adornment. Every
woman covets the other woman’s
clothes. In Bogota, Colombia,
the artistocracy wear Parisian
and Mew York garments; but in
the Atrato river country the poor
Indian girls have nothing but
liber bark skirts to year. One of
these maids of the wilderness
paddled up to the frontier trading
post last spring in her father’s
canoe and saw a corset and a pair
of stockings in the window of the
store. A week later the most
advanced fashions were revealed
to tljje denizens of the jungle
when the maid and her sister
proudly paraded their native set
tlement with indigo blue corsets
and bright red openwork hose
neatly painted on their chocolate
colored skin.
The North American jewelry
salesmen who are making their
first South American tour this
year ought to come back with
plenty of orders.—World Out
