HODKINSON PICTURES HODKINSON PICTURES DISTRIBUTED THROUGH HODKINSON EXCHANGES WM M VO CEL FOREIGN DISTRIBUTOR VIVID, THRILLING DRAMATIZATIONINTERESTING DEPARTURE One of the things that has not been overdone in picture making is realism. The screen version of Ralph Connor’s famous book, “Corporal Cameron,” deviates in this respect. It is realistic in the extreme.

Well acted and the Canadian scenery is beautiful. It is a good picture for those who like the thriller type of thing. Gaston Glass is quite a model hero of this kind and Vivienne Osborne is the heroine necessary for kidnapping purposes and for the final close-up. — MORNING TELEGRAPH.
