George Field — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

George B. Field is just naturally a “heavy”; anybody who has seen him in “Flying A” pics will tell you that.

He has a “fish eye” — as the G. M. would say — and when he looks at you out of the corner of it, as per the accompanying photograph, you don’t wonder that a hero and sheriff linger around in every scene to be handy when needed.

Mr. Field is a splendid horseman and a poor hunter, and both because of one reason — his love of animals.

Before his screen days he had experience a-plenty on the stage, alternating with Fred Stone for three years as the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, doing a vaudeville act and spending three years as “heavy” in Belasco (now Morosco) stock.

The Nestor company gave him his first film experience, thence to the American company, where he seems to have “arrived,” if one can judge from the many favorable comments on his playing.
