      Theda Bara signs with Hal Roach Films

      By Grace Kingsley (...)

      Signing Theda Bara is a further step in the somewhat

revolutionary policy of Hal Roach, who is attempting

to make comedies to compete with features and is securing

feature standard players for the roles. Elleen Percy,

Mildred Harris (formerly Mrs. Charlie Chaplin), George

Siegman, Stuart Holmes, Cesare Gravina and

other artists of note, usually associated with features only,

have been in the Roach organization recently

or are working now.
