Shot in St. Augustine in 1915, A FOOL THERE WAS stars
Theda Bara as "The Vampire," a beautiful but villainous
temptress; and Edward José as John Schuyler, a happily married Wall
Street lawyer and diplomat who falls for her feminine wiles. When
Schuyler gets a telegram calling him to England as a special diplomatic
representative, he heads off for the extended trip on a ship. Having
been slighted by Mrs. Schuyler, the Vampire sets her sights on her
handsome husband and sails away on the same vessel. Two months later,
we find Schuyler languishing on an island with his mistress, without a
job and questioning his choice. Will he wise up and return to his
loving family? Or will he remain ensnared in his lover's clutches?
See the film and beautiful young star promoted via what may have been
one of the film industry's first publicity stunts. Proceeds benefit
Norman Studios Silent Film Museum, Inc., a nonprofit organization
working to preserve Northeast Florida's silent film history and restore
Jacksonville's only surviving silent film studio complex.
Though tickets will be available at the door, purchasing yours online
allows us to plan for a better audience experience.
