Theda Bara films

[Peter Kalm]

I am looking far any clips, partial films and complete films that feature silent film actress Theda Bara on 35mm, 16mm or any other format, nitrate or safety film. If any collectors out there have one of her films then please let me know. If you have any of her films that you do not wish to part with then I would pay you to transfer a copy onto DVD.
You can e-mail me at: pkalm@hotmail.com

good luck with that search.

Thanks Dino! I will probably need lots of luck but I tend to believe more in research and hard work. I know that there are Theda Bara films out there but they are hard to find. Most of the over 40 films that she starred in are considered to be lost. Only 4 are available on DVD. I know that there are 16mm reduction prints of East Lynne in the hands of a few collectors and would like to buy one or get a copy made. The Stain was found a few years ago in Australia and has been shown at some film festivals. Both Cleopatra and Romeo and Juliet were re-released so there may be reduction prints of these films as well. Theda's films were so well known and widely distributed that I am certain that many of them are hiding in archives and private collections.
