AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Lorna Denver, a young girl who has been reared on a station, becomes the owner of a big station, but there is a dissolute cousin who plans to marry her fortune and herself. Lorna has, however, bestowed her affections upon a manlike young surveyor. The cousin is murdered and suspicion falls upon the innocent hero who is arrested. One of the great scenes of the play is the race for life when one of the old stage coaches, which have become almost historic, is carrying the evidence for the defence to the court-house. The creeks are swollen and there is the thrill of excitement as the horses dash across the ford, and the coach arrives just in the nick of time. The photography is excellent and not only is the "Girl of the Bush" well staged, but it is interpreted by a cast of capable players. Vera James, a New Zealand actress who has had wide experience In the bush and who is a graceful horsewoman, stars as Lorna Denver. She is co-starred by Stella Southern and supported by Olga Broughton, Emmie Shea, Jack Martin, Herbert Linden, Sam Warr (a Chinaman), Gerald Harcourt, Monty Moncrieff and Rock Phillips. The drama is in six reels, one of the most modern holdings in New South Wales being used for a background for the bush scenes.'
