Scott Lord Silent Film: The Unchastened Woman (James Young, 1925)


Actress Theda Bara appeared with Dale Fuller and Eileen Percy during 1925 in "The Unchastened Woman" (seven reels) directed by James Young. Most of the films of Theda Bara are presumed to be lost, with no surviving copies, there being less than half a dozen films out of the fourty in which she appeared that presently can be screened.
