Jean Goes Foraging

A story of camping which has its humorous side, though perhaps it comes sufficiently near to the truth of camping stories to acquire more than a humorous interest. The intelligence of the dog is attractive. When fish refused to bite and game refused to come within range of the gun, Jean, the collie, goes out and succeeds in securing sufficient to keep the two unfortunate campers alive. Eventually they tire of even Jean's foraging ability and return home, poorer in pocket and flesh and much wiser. This film is meritorious because of the excellent acting of the dog. What happened to the people is the common lot of many campers, but not all have such a dog to assist them out of their difficulties. The scenery is attractive, representing numerous phases of outdoors which would naturally prove a setting for such a picture. The photographer chose his view points with discretion and the printer did his work with care, retaining much of the gradation of tone and the values of the outdoor scenes. - The Moving Picture World, November 5, 1910
