OLIVER TWIST ( 1916 ) 65 In 1916 Lasky Feature Pictures merged with Zukor's Famous Players. Under the name of Paramount Pictures the partners continued the policy of presenting famous stage stars in screen plays. One of their first productions was Oliver Twist, with Marie Doro in the title role. She is shown above, with Tully Marshall as Fagin and Hobart Bosworth, deserting romantic he-man leads, as Bill Sykes. The man with the top hat is Raymond Hatton. Every actress wants to play Juliet, whether on stage or screen. Beverly Bayne acted the role opposite the Romeo of her husband, Francis X. Bushman. Another Juliet, Theda Bara, shown below, played the part in a Fox production of 1916. The Romeo is Harry Hilliard.
