I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...

Believe it or not, with all the photos I've seen of Theda, I've never seen that one. Look at those eyes!
Clara seems to be enjoying herself.
Re: Favorite photos of silent stars
Interesting, that must be a very early one of Theda. It barely looks like her!

Actress Alma Reubens, from the '20s. Look at the amazing catchlights in her eyes.

Bebe Daniels in The Heritage of the Desert. This is a Western from 1924. I've not been able to learn whether it's extant (probably not).

Re: Favorite photos of silent stars
Thanks for finding that. Yes, kind of good news. It exists, but not in a viewable place, like so many others.
