Trivia:

A Bluebird Production. Universal, lacking its own theater chain, devised a 3-tiered branding system to market its features to independent theater owners: Red Feather (low-budget), Bluebird (mainstream releases) and Jewel (prestige pictures produced to command higher roadshow ticket pricing). This brand-driven marketing system would fade away by late 1929.
