Gordon Edwards silent Java religious romantic love triangle melodrama ("Story by Theda Bara"; "A Theda Bara Super Production"; a wonderfully wacky story, written by Bara herself; she is a Javanese girl who becomes a dancer who assists the high priest; but she runs off with a British officer who is a Lord, but she grows tired of life in England, and she leaves her husband and becomes an dancer in an Apache cafe in Paris, doing Javanese dances by a Buddha statue; her distraught English husband shows up and kills himself in her dressing room; she hides his body and has visitors as though nothing has happened, and she goes on stage to perform, and the Buddha statue "comes to life" and kills her, and it turns out it was the high priest, awaiting his revenge on her evil ways!) starring Theda Bara, Victor Kennard, Florence Martin, Tony Merlo, and Jack Ridgeway NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! It is somewhat fragile, and we feel it would be a mistake to attempt to roll it, because it might well cause it to become damaged. Therefore, we will ship it in a large flat package, unless the new owner insists on rolling it. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has stains in the right blank border and a lesser amount in the other borders. It has a tear in the center of the bottom border with a few creases around the edges. There is tiny surface paper loss in the "L" of "SOUL" of the title. Otherwise the poster is in really nice condition, and it could be framed as is, or certainly it would be very easy for any restorer to remove the border stains, with or without backing the poster.
