About The Governor's Boss
Honest Fordyce Manville newly elected Governor of New York refuses to appoint a man chosen by party leader Boss Tally to a prominent position having authority over a large amount of state funds. Tally threatens revenge and persuades his son Archie to break his engagement to Manville's daughter Ruth. Tally and his gang work out a plan to frame the governor but a clerk in Tally's office, who is Ruth's friend, informs her of the plot. Ruth and her friend manage to record the boss and his aides conspiring. Tally rushes the trial causing Ruth to arrive too late to stop the governor from being impeached on the first ballot, but justice wins out in the end.
Directed by Charles E. Davenport, The Governor's Boss leans on a strong ensemble — Edward Roseman, William Sulzer, Pauline Hall — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1915.
