Photoplays Pass the Reviewing Stand The stupendous production of "Cleopatra," in which Theda Bara stars, is said to have cost $500,000, and 15,000 people and 2,000 horses were used. Roman palaces, the Roman Forum, the Barge on the Nile, the Pyramids, the Sphinx and all other scenes incidental to the life story of Cleopatra were perfectly reproduced. No star could be better suited to his part than is Sessue Hayakawa to that of "Hushimura Togo," in the photoplay of that name. The artistic settings and the Japanese atmosphere achieved throughout make this a truly remarkable release. ARTCRAFT NORMA TALMADGE FILM CO. Elsie Ferguson makes her initial appearance in motion pictures in "Barbary Sheep," taken from the novel by Robert Hichens. A sumptuous Oriental setting contributes much to the popularity of this play. Norma Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien, in "The Moth." Miss Talmadge plays the role of a social butterfly suddenly brought to a realization of the perilous course she has been steering.
