What happens

The Moth and the Flame è un cortometraggio muto del 1913. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit. I due interpreti principali avrebbero poi cambiato mestiere: Henry King sarebbe presto passato dietro la macchina da presa diventando in seguito uno dei più importanti registi di Hollywood mentre Jeanie Macpherson sarebbe diventata una delle sceneggiatrici più influenti del cinema USA, collaboratrice abituale di Cecil B. DeMille. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
