Salomé was a 1918 American silent drama film produced by William Fox and starring actress Theda Bara. The film is now considered to be lost.^[1]

He subsequently realized his lost chance and regretted prejudging films as worthy of preserving, deciding instead to preserve whatever film he was able to.^[2]
