Quote:
"Woe to the small independent movie producer. That is the lesson which Miss Nell Shipman feels should be drawn from her three years' experience at Priest Lake in Northern Idaho. She is back East now writing a book about the movies and preparing scenarios which others will produce. Her attempt to make pictures of the great open spaces in Idaho is an admitted failure. It was even rather a tragic failure."
-- St. Louis Post-Dispatch
