A tiny clip of Theda Bara as a pretty, unlikely vampire in the silent film “A Fool There Was” 1915. Via inthefollies
The film was based on a 1909 Broadway play titled A Fool There Was by Porter Emerson Browne, which in turn was based on Rudyard Kipling’s poem “The Vampire”. On the stage Bara’s part was played by actress Katharine Kaelred and was simply referred to as “The Woman”. The star of the play was actually a male, Victorian matinee idol Robert C. Hilliard, whose name featured prominently in some advertisements for the movie though he had no connection with the film.
