 This delightful story of a gir, raised in the heart of the woods a earefree spirit, whose friends are the trees and birds of the forest, has an appeal never before attained in a photoplay. The photep!ay and natur- al settings have never been equalled for beauty. Taken in the widest and most beautiful section of the Adiron- dacks, they form wonderful back ground fer a remarkable film drama.
 Miss Mersersau is more charming g and delightful than ever in the role of Joan. a part which will stand among the great roles of the sileni arama. This charming actress her self declares that she never acted in such an appealing drama and is em- phatlc in her declaration that Joan is the sweetest role she has eve. played.
