Auction History Result 9s417 LOT OF 3 UNFOLDED TRIMMED THEDA BARA HALF-SHEETS 1910s possibly from Cleopatra! Date Sold 10/13/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 3 unfolded trimmed half-sheets of Theda Bara. Note that because these half-sheets all seem to have an "Egyptian" theme, we would think it is quite possible they are from Cleopatra, but they could be from a different Theda Bara movie. It would also seem very likely they are all from the same movie, and certainly from the 1910s, but because all three were trimmed, and the title is no longer present, it is impossible for us to know more. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Theda Bara (born Theodosia Goodman, but she was given the much more exotic stage name of Theda Bara, which is an anagram of "Arab Death") was the leading sex star in the mid 1910s. Unfortunately, her "fall" was as quick as her "rise", and by the early 1920s, her career was pretty much over (although old friend Hal Roach gave her some parts in his comedies in the early 1920s). But in her time, she was as great a sex symbol as there ever was! Some of her film roles include: Cleopatra, A Fool There Was, and Salome. Measurements: 17" x 21 3/4"Condition: fair. All three half-sheets had at least their blank borders trimmed, and they now measure 17" x 21 3/4". Since a lot of half-sheets at this time had very wide blank borders, it is quite possible only the borders (including the title and credits) were trimmed, but we don't know. Please do not bid on these incredibly rare posters unless you can accept this very significant defect. Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
