Trivia:

A Bluebird Production. Lacking its own theater chain, Universal devised a 3-tiered branding system in marketing its product to independent theater owners: Red Feather (low-budget releases), Bluebird (mainstream features) and Jewel (prestige pictures produced in the hopes of commanding higher roadshow ticket prices). This system ended in late 1929.
