Dolly's Scoop is a 1916 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse and featuring Lon Chaney.
[3] James Fairfax is the editor of the Morning Argus, a scandal sheet that will publish any juicy story, no matter who it hurts.
Alice goes to see him one afternoon and finds him drunk, holding her old love letters that she had written him before she married James Fairfax.
"To the general public, newspaper stories always have a certain fascination and so Dolly's Scoop, a melodramatic number of that sort, will doubtless appeal despite the fact that judged from a reportorial standpoint, it is unreal."
Later a very pleasing story develops in which the editor in his quest for sensational news almost involves his own wife in a scandal.
