U re-arrangement in bookings brings to the Isis theater, at an early date,- "Salome," a new spectacular film offering of much promise, ac cording to reports from the east. The production is declared to have been six months in the making at the Wil liam Fox studios in Southern Cali fornia, and, with the picturesque lo cale in which the action transpires to inspire the director, is said, to be of surpassing beauty in its scenic as pects. : The story, which has inspired writers like Oscar V Wilde, Herman Suderman, Gustave Flaubert and Ste phen Phillips; composeds like Julea Massenet and Richard Strauss an several painters and etchers of world renown, should provide that arch-artificer of the animated screen, Theda Bara, with plentiful chances to dis play the wiles and whims of the, type she has made famous in Camera- land. .
