Barbara Frietchie is a 1924 American silent war drama film about an old woman who helps out soldiers during the American Civil War . It is based on the play of the same name by Clyde Fitch that had starred Julia Marlowe at the turn of the century which in turn was taken from the real-life story of Barbara Fritchie . There were two silent film versions, a 1915 version and 1924 version. The 1915 version, directed by Herbert Blache , starred Mary Miles Minter and Anna Q. Nilsson . The 1924 version, directed by Lambert Hillyer , starred Florence Vidor and Edmund Lowe . ^{[1] [2]}

Lydia Knott , mother of director Hillyer and a well known character actress in her own right, appears quite prominently in this film as a member of the Frietchie family but for some reason she is uncredited.
