ttfas seljish creature, who drains a
man's heart to its last drop, wrecks
his life and ends by gloating over his
-de&d body. She denies that she is a
mmpire herself but her life has not
bats, without its vampires incidents.
At f few years agoa.jroung man Wiled
himself in her dressing room because
she had spurned his love, He was
ffflftasly jealous of an East Indian
Gaekwar, then visiting In Paris, who
had given the actress a wonderfully
wrought snake-bracelet containing
an Indian poison.

9lSfee plays the part of the "rag and
boae and hank of hair" in "A Fool
-ftiere Was" in two gowns, one of
which she calls her panther costume,
, 4ifei8ther her "tiger lily dress." The
jtast is made entirely of panther skin
lands has long tight sleeves .falling
kafithe hands to make her arms ap
pear like the panther's deadly paws, 1
When she approaches her unfortu
nate victim in that gown she really
looks like a panther abeut to spring. -The
tiger lily gown is wrought of
real gold leaf and Miss Bara could
take it down to the sub-treasury in
Wall st. any time she is hard up, she
says, and have it minted into 18,000
American dollars.
"A vampire must never be lovely,"
Mile. Bara told me calmly. "I have
never loved, and if I ever fall under
the spell of a man I know that my
power oyer men will be gone! EVERY
WOMAN MUST CHOOSE WHETH
ER SHE WILL LOVE OR BE LOVED.
SHE CANNOT HOPE FOR BOTH!
You know we French people have a
proverb that in love there is always
one who kisses and one who merely
turns the. cheek. The vampire is
content to turn the cheek. That is
Why she makes fools of men.
"But, be(eve me, for every woman
vampire there are ten men ,of the
same type men who take every
thing from vomen love, devotion,
beauty, youth and give nothing in re
turn! V stands for vampire and it
stands for Vengeance, too. The vam
pire that I play is the vengeance of
my sex upon its exploiters. You see,"
Mile. Bara ended, "I have the face of
a-vampire perhaps, but the heart of
a 'femihiste!' "
