When Bluebird Photoplays arranged
with Miss Helen Ware to make her
exclusive screen appearance in their
feature films, there was much specu-
lation as to what means would be en-
ployed TO present her in a story that
would develop her manifold talents as
an actress and at the same time pro-
vide q scenario that would meet the
Bluebird standard of interest and eN-
cellence.
Hitting upon the widely read novel,
THAT Lass O. Lowrie s. was a for
tunate stroke for both Miss Ware and
Bluebird. Arrangements were soon
completed with Mrs. Frances Hodgson
