Early years


Foxe was born in Oxford, Ohio, to Charles Aldrich Fox, originally of Flint, Michigan, and Eva May Herron.[1] He was educated at Ohio State University, where he participated in theatrical productions.[2]


Career


Foxe left for New York City as a young man and became a stage actor, working for two years as the Garrick Stock Company's leading man.[3] He performed on stage with Douglas Fairbanks before going into films. On Broadway, he performed in Dancing Around (1915), Come Seven (1920), and Princess Virtue (1921).[4]

He appeared in some films in New York City and lived at the Lambs Club in the early 1920s at 130 West 44th Street in New York City but moved to California in 1922 and signed a contract with Fox Film Corporation.

Foxe became the first president of the Black-Foxe Military Institute, a military school for boys in Hollywood, in 1928 and served in that office until 1960.[5] He continued to regularly appear in movies until 1937, with two minor appearances thereafter.


Personal life and death


Foxe married vaudeville star Maybelle Meeker, aka "Dainty Marie", on August 7, 1914, in Leavenworth, Kansas.[6] The marriage effectively lasted about four months, but was not legally dissolved for a year.[7][8]

Foxe later married Gladys Bennett (née Borum, but also known as the silent movie actress Gladys Tennyson) in 1925, a year after they both appeared in the film The Last Man on Earth, and legally adopted her son Chester Bennett, Jr.[citation needed]
