Stunning Theda Bara in Cleopatra (1917) one of the most sought-after lost films.
Theda Bara The Queen of Vamps
In roughly 5 years she made almost 40 films, back to back. Most of them were lost to fires or what have you, but a few of them survived either in a complete form or fragments. For years I thought I would be able to see Cleopatra, but not too long ago a few seconds resurfaced.
The Stain (1914) her first role, which she denied for years.
A Fool There Was (1915)
East Lynne (1916)
Cleopatra (1917) fragment
Salome (1918) fragment
The Lure of Ambition (1919) fragment
The Unchastened Woman (1925) her comeback film!
Madame Mystery (1926)
Mega Star Douglas Fairbanks Sr. as Coke Ennyday in the incredible The Mystery of the Leaping Fish (1916)
Shocking to see what they got away with in the 1910s. Cool!
VAMP THEDA BARA
Throwing petals at her lover´s corpse. By 1925 she was already a has-been.
Queen of Vamps Theda Bara in A Fool There Was (1915). So perverse was Bara´s role that she was simply but brutally named “The Vampire”. No cute name calling for this gal!
“To be good is to be forgotten. I´ll be so bad l´ll always be remembered” - Theda Bara
Although she was not the first vamp, she was the first major, international vamp, joining the ranks of such stars as Pickford and Chaplin.

Queen of Vamps Theda Bara in the film that made her a sensation “A Fool There Was” (1915)
Notice her stunnig costumes!
Wicked Theda Bara, vamp.
Beautiful Queen Of Movies Mary Pickford
By the late 1910s she was earning more than USD 10,000 A WEEK!
Stunning Marion Davies, 1910s.
Intolerance (1916) by D. W. Griffith
In the mid 1910s films started to become longer, greater and more complex. Intolerance was so great and lavish that many people had never seen anything like it before (there had been other colossal films, most notably Cabiria, an italian epic, filmed in 1914)
Gothic Vamp Musidora (top gif) stars as Irma Vep in the French silent crime serial Les Vampires (1915-17), written and directed by Louis Feuillade.
Superstars Charles Chaplin and Mary Pickford on the shoulders of Douglas Fairbanks Sr. United Artists indeed.
Les Vampires (1915-16)
French silent crime serial film consisting of ten episodes, which vary greatly in length. Being roughly 7 hours long, it is considered one of the longest films ever made. It stars the gothic vamp MUSIDORA. Highly influential in shaping the vamp archetype and the femme fatale archtype in the following decade.
Gorgeous Francis X. Bushman
Known for his muscular physique and acting talents, he made most of his hundreds of films during the 1910s, becoming one the brightest stars of that decade. He became immortalized, however, in 1925′s Ben Hur as Messala, opposite then-latin-lover Ramon Novarro.
Although the famous Virginia Rappe-Arbuckle scandal belongs to the 1920s, they were mostly active during the 1910s. The story is well known by all of us.
Super Star Comedienne Mabel Normand, one of the brightest stars of the 1910s.
