A Modern Salome is a lost[1] 1920 silent film comedy directed by Leonce Perret and starring Hope Hampton. It was produced and distributed by Metro Pictures.[2][3] The film is based on the Oscar Wilde play Salome.
A display advert of the time states: "Her fancy swept her back through the ages, and she was dancing before king Herod for the head of John the Baptist. Yet she was a modern woman, a hot-house product of Twentieth Century Society."[4]
