42 — THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY Featurinfil DOROTHY PHILLIPS "Hell Morgan's Girl" scores a tremendous hit with its gripping situations and powerful scenes. It gets over big with the fans and never has any trouble playing to capacity, because it is a drama of rare excellence emd punch. BOOK This Winner and Play It Repeat "Hell Morgan's Girl" is an immense story of the notorious Barbary Coast in San Francisco at the time of the great earthquake and fire.

Don't hesitate to book it repeat through y/r any BLUEBIRD Exchange, or BLUEBIRD Photoplays, Inc. 1600 B'way, New York. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pa., Gentlemen : — I consider "A Jewel In Pawn" well acted and well produced. The comments of our patrons, which we take considerable trouble in getting, were generally very favorable, and it was well received by our audience. We take this means to assure you, however, that our patrons enjoy Bluebird production, as they are well acted, clean, wholesome and first-class in every particular. Yours very truly, OLYMPIC THEATRE, Steubenville, O. Bluebird Photoplays, Dallas, Texas. Gentlemen — "A Jewel In Pawn" is the best thing I have ever seen in Bluebirds, and shows a side of Jewish characteristics that should be more frequently placed before screen patrons. It was a tender, curiously humorous, human side of the Jewish character that certainly left a lesson implanted in the minds of every one that saw the picture — one that will not be easily forgotten. Yours respectfully, A. MARTINI, Dixie Theatre, Galveston, Texas. Did they Like Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., %. New York City, N. Y. Gentlemen — We played capacity business on the first day of "A Jewel In Pawn," showing to 2,900 people, and on the second day we had to stop selling tickets at 7:45. Business being so good, we rebooked it for a return engagement. This pleased all people of different creeds and nationalities and we feel sure that if the Bluebirds continue to produce features of this quality, they will reign supreme in the film world of to-day. Very truly yours, SAM BERNSTEIN, Mgr., Globe Theatre, Montreal, Canada. Bluebird Photoplays, St. Louis, Mo. Gentlemen — "A Jewel In Pawn," the Bluebird feature, with Ella Hall in the title role was presented in my theatre to a fair sized audience, and all were well pleased with the production. It is a well constructed story, not overdrawn and played by a splendid cast. Photography and details are good as in all the Bluebirds I have played. "If it's a Bluebird it's got to be good," and "A Jewel In Pawn" ranks among the best of them. Yours very truly, G. W. PITTENGER. Pittenger Grand, Centralia, III. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Omaha, Nebr. Gentlemen — I wish to comment on the quality of the Bluebird production, "A Jewel In Pawn." I can say that this picture is very well up to the Bluebird standard of production in every way, and I consider Miss Hall's work together wnth that of Walter Belasco as exceptionally good. I trust that all Bluebird productions are up to the same high standard as "A Jewel In Pawn." Yours very truly, PRINCESS THEATRE CO., S. HARDING, Prop.. 1317 Douglas St., Omaha, Nebr. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pa. Gentlemen — In reply to your letter of the 17th asking for my opinion on "A Jewel In Pawn," I wish to say that the picture is very beautiful in photography, entrancing in scenery, perfect in detail and Ella Hall is bewitching.
