Beautiful Theda Bara in the play The Blue Flame (1920) her only Broadway role.

She played Ruth Gordon, a religious woman who dies and then is revived by a sicentist as a terrible vamp, whose only purpose is to destroy men. Typical Bara material. 

Her contract with Fox had ended in 1919 and she would appear in only 3 more movies, one of them a short film. She never returned to the stage either.
