Quote:
"Clune's [...] reopened yesterday with one of the most magnificent productions of the season, The Girl from God's Country, with Nell Shipman, star and author of the production, in one of her own delightful stories of the Far North. [...] The Girl from God's Country is a screen drama, involving the life story, with its pathos and humor, of a little French-Canadian girl, Neeka by name, an orphan being cared for by her old grandfather, a trapper and guide, and old Notawa, an Indian woman. Intrigue, vindication and revenge entangle the plot, in which a big love interest is interwoven, and the thrills of intense dramatic climaxes, unusual and original, make the picture extraordinary and different. In this picture Miss Shipman plays a dual role. Miss Shipman's animals are seen doing the things that make them even more famous than they were in past northern pictures with the star. For scenic beauty of the great outdoors, there is nothing that can surpass that of the Far North, with its ice-clad mountains, frozen rivers, magnificent woods and snow, all touches which add atmosphere to this story of the North."
