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. [3]
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." [4]
