-THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY We've to sett time. READ THIS Here's what one Film Critic said about the BLUEBIRD Photoplay— "A JEWEL IN PAWN" "The Producers have provided Ella Hall only a meagre vehicle in ''A JEWEL IN PAWN." A stab at the pathos was attempted, but there seems to be no scenes in it capable of provoking a tear. Minus any consistent show of drama or comedy, they become rather monotonous as the reels roll by." ''An inadequate story is the real answer." AND THIS Here's what another Film Critic also said about '*A JEWEL IN PAWN" ''I believe you can safely play this as a ''PROGRAM RELEASE." "Do not promise them too much on this, but emphasize the human note and call the story a 'little story' which is in a way 'an alibi.'

M., the business being so good that it was REBOOKED for a return engagement.
