Two Stunts for "Eagles Wings"
A CHILDREN'S PARADE.
IT isn't necessary to do very much boosting to bring the crowds to see "The Eagle's Wings." Everybody has heard about it, and a mere announcement that it will play a certain theatre on a certain date is enough to crowd any theatre. But Manager Barnes of the Hub Theatre, Casper, Wyoming, being a wise exhibitor, thought he would give the town a patriotic demonstration in connection with his showing of "The Eagle's Wings." He arranged for the Moose Drum Corps, followed by over two hundred children, to march through the street, the procession coming to a halt in front of the Hub Theatre. The children carried flags and waved them with much fervor. This children's parade was an unusual sturt, and brought unusual results.
Mr. Barnes has been a Bluebird exhibitor since the inception of that company. He knows a good thing when he sees it.
A NEW JOKER READY.
Max Asher, the Joker comedian, is playing the lead in a comedy in one reel called "The Poisoned Pie," which is being produced by Universal Director Craig Hutchinson. Gladys Tennyson plays the opposite lead.

Bluebird Photoplays, Inc.,
1600 Broadway, New York City:
Gentlemen — We have been using Bluebird photoplays since their inception, and feel that they have built up their forces and surrounded themselves with performers that give them prestige second to none in the business. We find Bluebird a good drawing card. The photography, with very few exceptions, is the best that could be produced. We show these productions in the New Yale Theatre of Muskogee, Oklahoma, which has a seating capacity of eleven hundred. The photographs which we are sending under separate cover show the stage set for "The Eagle's Wings." This lobby display drew us in a capacity house.
Yours very truly,
L. W. BROPHY, Pres. Yale Theatre Co.
Muskogee, Okla.
