Georges Melchior — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Louis Melchior [Georges Melchior] is becoming better known with each new release of the Gaumont Company’s Fantômas series, for in them he plays second part and his role is always a particularly daring one.

It is Melchior who is wrongly suspected, who is harshly treated, who gets so many of the “rough” assignments, and it is Melchior who covers himself with glory in the performance of the several roles which he assumes weekly.

He is seen to advantage as lead in a great number of Gaumont releases and can be relied upon to make his performance as artistic as the role will allow.

Neatness is one of Melchior’s evident virtues and his nature is said to be optimistic and friendly. His hair is blonde and sleek, his eyes gray and good-natured and his smile warm and pleasant.

His work in pictures was preceded by several years of stage experience though now the films are to be his lifework.
