An enthusiastic review of the Hollywood silent film, The Tiger Woman (1917) starring the first sex symbol of the silent era, Theda Bara (born Theodosia Burr Goodman; 1885-1955).
This very brief review will give the reader a sense of how uneasily many men must have sat in their seats when she was pictured on screen.
“She is a very tigerish ‘Tiger Woman’ in this picture. Her heart, her soul, her finger tips, her eyelashes, her rounded arms, her heaving buzzum, all vibrate to a passion for pearls.”
Theda Bara retired in 1926, having worked in forty-four films.
