The Blue Flame (play)
''The Blue Flame'' is a play written by George V. Hobart and John Willard. Producer Albert H. Woods staged it on Broadway in 1920 in a production starring movie actress Theda Bara. The main character is a religious young woman who dies and is revived as a soulless ''femme fatale''. Bara's movie fame was considered the primary driver of audience attendance at what critics described as a terrible play. It was her last Broadway role and one of her last professional acting projects.
==Plot==
Atheist scientist John Varnum has developed a way to bring the dead back to life, which he uses when his sweet, religious fiancee Ruth is killed. The audience sees her soul visibly leave her body as the "blue flame" of the title. Varnum revives her, but with no soul she has an entirely different personality. She seduces a young man named Larry Winston and turns him into a cocaine addict. She murders Ned Maddox and frames another man for it. In the final act, Ruth's death and revival is revealed to be a dream John Varnum was having. Upon waking he now understands the importance of the soul; he embraces religion and destroys his life restoration device.
