| LEW CODY, in private life, Lewis Joseph Cote, was born on February 22, 1885,
in Waterville, Maine. High praise for a performance in an annual school
play at McGill Medical College in Montreal was responsible for Lew's forsaking
a career as a doctor for that of an actor. He went to New York where he
studied dramatic art. It was while he was touring the West Coast that he
made his debut in pictures under Thomas H. Ince. He played the leading role
opposite Bessie Barriscale in "Mating." Since then he has appeared
in many brilliant successes. He has dark hair and complexion. |
