According to the author, what makes films from Bluebird productions, including Elusive Isabel, so popular with the public? Timeliness has marked the arrival of several Bluebird productions; films carrying topics that were of Immedite public interest have been released on the Bluebird program
with a regularity that maintained an average of about one in four.

"Elusive Isabel," the release set for May 15, is another feature that hits the nail of public timeliness immediately upon the head. Florence Lawrence, who returns to the
screen in this five reeler, plays the role of a diplomatic spy, sent to this country by a foreign Government to do nothing less than connive, plot and scheme to disdain American neutrality and jeopardise the position of the United States Government in its attitude of neutrality in Governmental and militaristic polides.

The basis of the plot is this connivance among a score of foreign diplomats to have signed on American soll a compact that would give control to the Latin nations of the
political, scientific and economical attributes of the whole world. The counter plot is formulated by this woman spy in love with the Government Secret Service operator, who has been commissioned to catch her and thwart her own plans and the schemes of her employers and confederates.

Originally filmed in eight reels, "Elusive Isabel" has been reduced by the process of editing to live reels, retaining in more condensed scope the many and various sensations that were embodied in the orginal length. In producing these exciting episodes many novel methods have been employed, and a play of uncommon originality is
developed

Supporting Miss Lawrence are some of the most skillful of Bluebird players, including Sydney Bracey, Wallace Clarke, William Welsh, Paul Panzer, Sonia Marcel, with the
leading male role entrusted to Harry Millarde, who plays the role of a Government secret service operator.
