George L. Cox — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

George L. Cox can do ever so many other things besides act, and that everybody knows he can do exceptionally well.

Selig pictures produced in Chicago show Mr. Cox to advantage in roles of light comedy and eccentric character work. He has acted abroad as well as at home and, in addition, is a producer.

But the thing Mr. Cox started out to do, with the intention of making it his life work, was to paint. He studied in the Paris ateliers, but gave up a painter’s career for that of the stage.

He has travelled extensively and, in his roamings, made history his hobby. In his out-of-motion-picture hours, the thing he likes best to do is write. He is a constant and successful contributor to current periodicals and illustrates all his own articles.

Many talents has Mr. Cox and he believes in utilizing all of them and then getting more. And he does, both in pictures and out.
