The Yellow Dog is a 1918 American silent drama film directed by Colin Campbell and starring Arthur Hoyt, Antrim Short, and Clara Horton. [2]
Promotion on the film began before production started. Movie theaters distributed material promoting the Anti-Yellow Dog Clubs, groups designed for schoolboys to call out Americans not acting with sufficient patriotism that had originally been inspired by the story that this film adapts. [5]
Mae Tinée in the Chicago Tribune said "There's such a big idea behind 'The Yellow Dog,' that it's rather a pity the picture is not a more complete and masterly thing than it is." [3] The Evening Express (Los Angeles) said that it had a "terrific climax" and that the "subtitles are gems of 'punch' and patriotism". [4]
