Quote:
"The Girl from God's Country, a seven-part feature presented by W.H. Clune and released by the F.B. Warren Corp. proves one thing, and that is that Nell Shipman, the authoress and star of the production, should stick to acting in the future and leave the writing of her stories to someone better qualified. In direction Miss Shipman might also have had someone on the salary list qualified for that position instead of taking it on herself to do everything to be done. She not only has written and directed, but played three parts in the story. Two of the parts were mighty important and the third was a bit in a single shot. In reality The Girl from God's Country is a serial that has been done as a feature. It has all the impossible thrill producing stunts that one would expect in a serial that is destined for the entertainment of the veriest lowbrows, but which seem entirely out of place in a feature."
