THE CLODHOPPER
Starring Charles Ray
PHOTOPLAY
September 1917
Score two for author (Monte) Katterjohn: while "The Clodhopper,"
his recent writing for Charles Ray, does not possess the power
of "The Flame of the Yukon," it has that which most
photoplays lack: a fresh, even if not novel, viewpoint. The
clodhopper is the chore boy son of a country banker. As father's
safe swells, his fists grow tighter, and at length the boy, having
no desire to become the man with the hoe, beats it to "the
city." The first job that stares him in the face is a janitorship
in a theatre; and here the stage manager, struck with his humorous
possibilities, injects him into the frou-frou entertainment.
His success proves him no clodhopper.
