Youtube has found some rare Theda gems...but sadly I must say I find 45 Minutes from Hollywood extremely underwhelming...she's in it for 2 seconds and that's it. Not worth it if your just seeking a Theda appearance. Below is the first half of the film, with Theda's appearance towards the end:
However there was a much neater find! Someone uploaded the snippet of Theda Bara et William Fox; which contains three interesting clips. The first is on set in Egypt (no Theda), then Theda stirring a cup of coffee, and finally Theda smoking on a bed while being serenaded.
If anyone can identify them please do!

Theda Bara had signed a two-picture deal with Hal Roach. MADAME MYSTERY (1926) was the first one. For some reason, they only used this out-take from MADAME MYSTERY in 45 MINUTES FROM HOLLYWOOD and that was her last film appearance. 45 MINUTES also has Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, although never on-screen together because they had not formed their comedy team yet. It is one of their worst films.
