The Totville Eye1912

A nostalgic comedy set in small-town America. While the editor is away, his employees change the style of his newspaper (the Totville Eye) and actually report local news. The results are all to the good. Child star Yale Boss plays the bad boy turned cub reporter. Bigelow Cooper does a fine send up of a minister experiencing his first (unintended) drunk. The New York Dramatic Mirror claimed that the film possesses "just about all that could be desired except that of probability." The film recalls D. W. Griffith's earlier PIPPA PASSES but in comic mode.
