That fertile field of romance and
adventure, the opening of the Great
West, which was accomplished by the
intrepid railroad builders, always
stirs our imagination and instills in
Us a feeling of deep admiration for
the obstacles overcome by those
brave pioneers in engineering Frank
II. Spearman is the one author who
has been able to depict the conditions
they were forced to meet He alone
was able to get under the surface
to really understand the thoughts OF
the men and to fluffy appreciate the
great work they were doing for civ
ilization.
In seeking a proper vehicle to
match the personality and unusual
emotional ability of Miss Holmes CEN
tering about some phase of railroad
life hundreds of stories were read
but none were found SO worthy of
perpetuation in a screen production
as Whispering Smith. As the book
stands far above all written stories of
railroad life, so does this remarkable
five-act Mutual star Production
stand above all previous motion pic
lures depicting this thrilling phase Of
our history.
Love, intrigue and adventure are
the dominant themes of Whispering
smith, Action is the keynote. Inter-
est in the picture Is sustained from
the very beginning, with the result
that no audience, no matter how
apathetic, will fail to catch the spirit
OF the production and be carried away
with it.

FIRST, THE PLAY;
THEN, THE PLAYERS

While most of the moving picture
producers are exploiting names Of
stars regardless of whether or not the
plays are suitable for use. by adver-
tising the players. Bluebird Photo
plays have consistently adhered to
the belief that Shakespeare was
right when he said, The plays the
thing
The popularity of photoplays, that
amounts almost to a surgng mania
among an increasingly large proper
tion of theatergoers, mas brought to
the market a great quantity of ill
considered productions-plays, in
deed that may not be dignified by the
classification of productions.
These pieces have been filmed
solely because they were momentar-
lily available; because a certain star
was under engagement and because it
cost money for big salaries if the ex-
pensive player should remain idle
Securing first the star and then US
ing any old play has been a seri-
Gus handicap to progress that may
still be made in the industry of pic
ture play presentation.
Bluebird Photoplays have gone
about their work In a different way
This corporation launched about the
first of the present year, has first
secured the play ana then found ac-
tors TO fit the several roles. BY this
means the BluebirdS have become
known as the best of picture enter
ia nments, principally because tho
plays themselves have always been
good and the players have been fit
ted to the roles regardless of the
passing notoriety of any individual
