Charles M. Seay — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Charles M. Seay claims not one but many honors.

To begin with, he was born in Georgia and when he thought he knew what he wanted to do he studied medicine, but discovered after five years of its acquaintance that it wasn’t at all what he was pining for, so he settled the dispute between conscience and desire by going on the stage, which gave three cheers and started him off on a five years’ tour of vaudeville circuits.

After that it provided him with stock work and the opportunity of appearing with William Faversham and Robert Edeson.

With the thinning of Mr. Seay’s front hair and the widening of his kindly smile and the horizon of his accomplishments, he made another change. And this time he transferred his talents to the Edison company. That was three years ago; since then, he has pleased many a silent audience, directed films for the Home Kinetoscope and written thirty photoplays.
