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.[4]
Preservation
Toby's Bow is now considered to be a lost film.[5]
