Lew Cody, in private life, Lewis Joseph Cote, was born on February 22, 1885, in Waterville, Maine.
High praise for a performance in an annual school play at McGill Medical College in Montreal was
responsible for Lew's forsaking a career as a doctor for that of an actor. He went to New York where
he studied dramatic art. It was while he was touring the West Coast that he made his debut in
pictures under Thomas H. Ince. He played the leading role opposite Bessie Barriscale in "Mating."
Since then he has appeared in many brilliant successes. He has dark hair and complexion.

Don't get barbarous!" Lew Cody warns George K.
Arthur, as the latter "baptizes" their new
barbershop by trimming his partner's
moustache. This ceremony was part of the
opening of a new barbershop in Hollywood,
across the street from the Writers' Club, in
which the two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer players,
with Renee Adoree, Jack Conway, and other
screen celebrities are stockholders. The shop is
designed with makeup and beauty departments
as necessities to screen players, from which its
principal patronage is drawn. 1/11/26
