Quote:
"A packed house at each performance greeted Nell Shipman in The Girl from God's Country, which opened last night at the Capitol Theater. This picture is Miss Shipman's greatest production. It even surpasses her famous Back to God's Country and others of its type. Beautiful snow scenes taken in the Canadian North Woods offer the finest bit of photoplay seen here in years. The little Nell Shipman animal actors, including Brownie, the bear, do some great work in the North Woods scenes. Another feature of the picture is a thrilling airplane battle 6,000 feet in mid-air, in which Miss Shipman makes a daring leap by parachute when the wing of her plane is broken in the encounter. This is the greatest airplane scene ever made for a motion picture."
