A Parade Of Heroes
"Cinema '76," a continuous 30-minute screen show, is seen from a viewing platform that holds 200 spectators. In cartoon and song, the show tells of Revolutionary War heroes, some known to all Americans, some obscure. Among them:

• Sharpshooter Timothy ("Double-barreled") Murphy picked off a British general at the Battle of Saratoga.
• Lady in uniform, Deborah Sampson, fought as a Continental soldier.
• Mounted scout Allan McLane gathered intelligence and funneled British food into Patriot larders.
• Marblehead fishermen, led by john Glover, successfully extricated Washington's defeated force by boat from the Battle of Long Island, and later rowed it to success at Trenton.
• Able drillmaster General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, who could swear in four languages, molded an army.
• Commander in Chief George Washington.

Battles, Maps And Paintings
A Continental soldier (the exhibitor's familiar trademark) stands inside the exhibit building in a color transparency of a painting by Tom Lovell. Dioramas show--among other things--the winter encampment at Valley Forge; the Battles of Bennington, Fort Moultrie and Long Island; and, on a simulated sea, Captain John Paul Jones's Bonhomme Richard, her guns blazing, fighting Serapis rail to rail. Also on the exhibit floor:

• Patriotic paintings, commissioned by Continental Insurance over the years, are on display.
• Transparencies detail some of the operations of The Continental Insurance Companies.
• An illuminated map of the U.S. shows, by push button, facts and figures about the entire U.S. or any of the 50 states.
