What happens

A Heroine of '76 è un cortometraggio muto del 1911 diretto da Edwin S. Porter, Phillips Smalley e Lois Weber. Fu il primo film da registi per Smalley e Weber, che si erano sposati nel 1906 e che collaboreranno a lungo in futuro, dirigendo, interpretando e sceneggiando numerosi film. Porter, al contrario, era all'epoca uno dei registi con più esperienza, avendo esordito nel 1898. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
