Picture Show Annual 15 I Florence Turner and Ralph Ince. Florence Turner is also seen in the photograph showing a scene from an early screen play of “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” It would be interesting to know what this early film cost to produce in view of the enormous amount spent on the picture made by Universal. Mr. Carl Laemmle spent two years making this picture, and it is said that the total cost was £600,000. Since the great Sarah Bernhardt appeared on the scieen she must be accepted as the greatest tragedienne who ever played in the pictures, but after Bernhardt the claims of Pauline Frederick and Pola Negri would be hotly disputed by the supporters of the two stars.

Sir John Martin Harvey is so inseparably associated with the role of Sidney Carton in “ A Tale of Two Cities,” that one can scarcely think of any other actor in the part, which Sir John played on the screen as well as so many, many times on the stage. But William Farnum took the role in an American screen version of Charles Dickens’ famous classic, and scored a big success. Theda Bara and Nazimova, in addition to playing Salome, also starred as Camille, the ill-fated heroine of the novel by Dumas the younger. Norma Talmadge also played Camille, but the most interesting point in the photographs on page 17 dealing with this subject is one where Valentino, as Armand, is seen with Nazimova. In the ordinary course of time, it is not long ago since that photograph was taken, but how much has happened in the world of pictures. Nazimova was then at the Colleen Moore .and Eddie Barry in an old Christie comedy. “ Her Bridal Night-Mare." Madame Duharry has not been neglected by film pro- ducers. At the top of the fage is Pola Negri in Passion," the Continental conception of her career, and at the right is a scene from " Duharry," the iitle role of which UHU taken by Theda Bara. i I.
