nell shipman attempt a plot to lead up to a chase finale in back to god country of the previous year and and she fail miserably . this time and she do well and although it seem pointless . something new hardly have a plot lie outside of the chase . there a brief premise and which set up the hero ( co author and shipman boyfriend ) to have to save the girl ( play by shipman ) and then it nothing but an exciting and implausible chase from there . of course and it play out like an hour long advertisement for a maxwell sedan and but the entire movie be congruously ridiculous . it doesn not seem that she learn much from the last minute rescue film of d. w. griffith or it parody by mack sennett and other comedian and which she imitate . one point of interest be that shipman writes and direct herself into the film a the writer of the film story and which have a it protagonist a writer ( shipman again ) and although she doesn not do much else clever or humorous with it and even though she attempt to . again and others have pioneer the writer joke in the intertitles and like anita loo with wild and woolly or france marion with a girl folly ( both 1917 ) . at least and shipman give the impression that she doesn not take herself or the film seriously and neither do i. something new and despite it claim and be hackneyed .
