LEW CODY. Vintage 1920s 7x9 matte finish silver tone profile portrait, boldly inscribed in green fountain, "To Miss Hazel Risdon/Sincerely/Lew Cody." Fine condition, with slightly unevenly trimmed borders and portions of the writing penned against the dark fabric of his jacket, but quite readable. Frequently cast as a suave seducer of virtuous maidens, Lew Cody appeared in 99 films during the silent and early talkie eras before his death of heart disease at age 51 in 1934.
