A DAZZLING FOX SUPERFEATURE. ROMEO AND PULIET "-TO-NIGHT. The pieturisation of "Romeo ' and Juliet'' at Everybody's Theatre to-night marks the first entrance of the William Fox Company into Shakespeare's dramas as a field for feature productions. To take this film it was necessary to erect \n Italian village behind the studio, to keep the entire force of scene-makers working overtime for the interior sets, and to scour New York and New Jersey for beautiful exteriors. Theda Bara, the foremost screen actress in America, "vho took the role of Juliet, said that the part was the most difficult one she had ever undertaken. "Acting vampire inrts has always been extremely hard for me to do," says Miss Bara, "yet T ■cored my greatest success in that line of work. That is wh\ I believe Juliet .vill be the best tiling I have done, be--ause it was the most difficult. I believe one has greater chances for success when the part one is interpreting calls for all the power and ability of which one is capable." That Miss Bara has •ndced scored the success of her career lias been amply demonstrated by the wonderful success of "Romeo and Juliet" throughout the English-speaking world. The production is a super-feature of unexampled splendor and marks a new era in high-class animated photography.
