"The Moving Picture Boys on the War Front" by Victor Appleton is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two young protagonists, Blake Stewart and Joe Duncan, who are aspiring filmmakers engaged by the military to capture real-life war footage during World War I. The book is set against the backdrop of their cinematic endeavors, which intertwine with actual wartime experiences, as they navigate the challenges of producing films while grappling with the dangers and excitement of being near the front lines. At the start of the novel, the moving picture boys are immersed in filming a Civil War reenactment, which serves as a backdrop to introduce their characters and the film production world. The narrative quickly escalates when they receive a call from their producer, Mr. Hadley, offering them a chance to document real battle scenes in Europe. As they prepare for their journey, an accident involving a French officer, Lieutenant Secor, raises suspicions among the boys regarding their safety. Blending themes of espionage and the pursuit of adventure, the opening sets the tone for an action-packed narrative that explores the tumultuous moment when filmmaking meets the harsh realities of war.
