Maid of Mystery

Though featured in the photoplays,
Her soul was on a different plane,
Marie, like Janus, looked two ways.
Though featured in the photoplays
Heavenward she fixed her gaze,
until no more for films remained.
Though featured in the photoplays,
Her soul was on a different plane.

"The wickedest woman on the screen"
Theodosia cum Theda, at any cost
To the gears of the publicity machine,
The wickedest woman on the screen
Remembered for playing Egypt's queen;
Like Theo herself, that too is lost.
The wickedest woman on the screen -
Theodosia cum Theda, at any cost.
