A Day with Our Soldier Boys (1909)

A sprinkling of patriotic scenes in any program or play is always the cue for a burst of applause, hence these subjects are popular with exhibitors. The patriotic ring is well supplied in this Vitagraph film of scenes in the daily life of a company of United States soldier boys. We see and almost hear the bugle call of attention, the morning setup drill, the soldiers at their ablutions, the march to the breakfast table and the mess room. Visitors come and go and greet the officers and watch the men at a splendid calisthenic drill. We are shown an excellent photographic rendering of a company of soldiers under heavy marching orders, on dress parade and at big gun drill. The lighter vein of a soldier's life is shown by such sports as blanket tossing, running the gauntlet, ducking and other forms of mild punishment. A short and lively picture of military camp life that will surely be widely appreciated.
