Paul Panzer — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Paul Panzer was born in Warsburg, Bavaria, the well known university town. He studied at the University of Würzburg and served in the army and became a lieutenant of the artillery in reserves.

He left Germany to take a position as administrator of a coffee plantation in St. Palo [São Paulo?] in Brazil. After three and a half years spent there he came to this country twelve years ago.

Inasmuch as he had been a leading spirit in club theatricals in Germany he naturally drifted into the dramatic profession and secured an engagement with Augustin Daly and later became stage manager.

About five years ago he became interested in moving pictures and for awhile was an independent producer and director. Receiving, however, a flattering offer from Pathé Frères he joined their stock company in Jersey City where he has been now for three and a half years playing leading parts.
