« As the girl [in The Girl from God's Country], Miss [Nell] Shipman is a Northwestern Mowgli, Opal Whitely, St. Francis of Assisi and Carmen. She juggles wildcats, skunks, bears, deer, raccoons and mountain lions with a dexterity that Martin Johnson might well envy, keeping them in the confines of her rough-hewn mountain cabin as pets. In her idle moments she fights with the village folk. Not content with this simple life, she goes to the effete East (California), parachutes from an aeroplane, climbs on board again and ends the story in Japan, having won the America-to-Asia flight for the Carslake Airplane Works. She also plays the part of her civilized half-sister. Perilously near to ham as The Girl from God's Country frequently is, Miss Shipman's vigorous personality makes it, and as she makes it, it is well worth watching. »
