Her Country's Call

Her Country's Call is a 1917 American silent drama film directed by Lloyd Ingraham and starring Mary Miles Minter, along with George Periolat and Allan Forrest.

It was one of many films of the time that catered to the vogue for patriotic pictures after America joined World War I, with ample shots of soldiers and the American flag.

[2] As described in various film magazines,[3][4][5] Jess Slocum (Minter), a little mountain girl, lives in a cabin with her father Jim (Periolat).

The girls of the town, led by the Colonel's daughter Marie (Shelby), shun Jess due to her father's arrest and so, when she is well enough, she sets out to return to her old cabin.

On the way she sees John Reynolds (Dearholt) tear down the flag, and hears him plotting to raid the town while the soldiers are at a dance.
