A MIGHTY SUPER-FOX FEATURE. THEDE BARA IN "ROMEO AND JULIET." Tliede Bara, the mo9t widely known of screen actresses, whose mere picture has captivated the hearts of thousands of men, will make her appearance on the screen at Everybody's next Wednesday night in the William Fox super-feature of Shakespeare's masterpiece, "Eomeo and Juliet." The scenario for this magnificent photoplay production was drawn up with the most scrupulous care, in an effort to keep the film version as near the text of the play a? possible. An entire foj'ce of artists at the William Fox offices was employed in fashioning scenery, arranging details, and providing background to the story. The costuming of the part of Juliet occasioned Theda Bara no little worry. From stage records, Miss Bara found that previous actresses were about evenly divided between the thirteenth and sixteenth century gowns, "I selected the sixteenth century," says Miss Bara, "Jibcause the cumbersome gowns of the thirteenth century do nor, adapt themselves gracefully to the girlish figure of the character. Local picture goevs are in for a decided treat when they grasp the opportunity to view this magnificent "Tragedy of Love."
