Interesting facts
Barbara Frietchie is a 1915 silent drama film directed by Herbert Blaché and starring Mary Miles Minter. It is based upon the 1899 play Barbara Frietchie by Clyde Fitch, which was in turn inspired by the John Greenleaf Whittier poem of the same name. As with many of Minter's movies, the film is thought to be a lost film.
Trivia
The December 1915 issue of Photoplay notes an incident from filming wherein Minter accidentally shot her co-star William Morse in the arm – fortunately the wound did not prove to be serious.
