Toby's Bow is a 1919 American silent drama film directed by Harry Beaumont and starring Tom Moore, Doris Pawn, Macey Harlam, Arthur Housman, Colin Kenny, and Augustus Phillips. It is based on the 1919 play of the same name by John Taintor Foote. The film was released by Goldwyn Pictures on December 14, 1919.

Production

The role of the servant, Uncle Toby, was played by Nick Cogley in blackface. The use of blackface was not unusual in American silent films, and did not disappear in films until the 1930s when public sensibilities regarding race began to change and blackface became increasingly associated with racism and bigotry.
