About “The Blue Flame”
The Blue Flame is a four-act play written by George V. Hobart and John Willard, who revised an earlier version by Leta Vance Nicholson. It was first staged in 1920 by producer Albert H. Woods on Broadway and on tour across the United States. The story follows Ruth Gordon, a religious young woman who dies and is revived by her scientist fiancé as a soulless femme fatale. She seduces men and involves them in crimes, including drug use and murder. In the final act, her death and resurrection are revealed to be a dream. The production starred Theda Bara, a silent film actress known for playing similar roles in movies. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
