Bluebird Company Makes Claim "The Play Vfche Thing" So much has been printed and said about the value of the big; stars in the drawing; power of a moving picture. There has been a mad rush by the photoplay producers to sign up an the former famous stars of the stage and some fabulous salaries have been reported. The producers of Bluebird photo plays have said that it is not the star that should draw, but the play. On this basis they claim they can produce a good play with an almost unknown cast and so long as the acting is good the play should please better than a medium play with a great star in the leading role. J. H. Calvert, local Bluebird man ager, speaking on the subject, said: "Our company believes, and the crit ics have upheld them, that the audi ence enjoys a play or not according to the story it tells and the way it is directed. There is a difference of opinion on this by some and our con tinuous advertising of high class plays will sooner or later cause a reversal of the popular thought that a play must have a great star in order to en tertain. Of course, we have stars too, but only to make the plays better. We are producing photoplays, not stars."
