GEORGE FITZMAURICE

 

From Who's Who on the Screen (1920)

George Fitzmaurice has the distinction of being one of the greatest of motion picture directors. He was born in France and attended the famous St. Julien school there, where he studied art. His productions featured by Paramount-Artcraft, the first of which was "On with the Dance" followed by "The Right to Love" and "Idols of Clay" show his rare ability to transform the written play into the pictured form. Mr. Fitzmaurice is a world traveller, having spent considerable time in India, China, Japan and Egypt. He is five feet ten inches high, weighs a hundred and sixty-three pounds, has black hair and hazel eyes. While he is very fond of outdoor life, he evinces an equal interest in art, being able to work in oil with telling effect.
