Ricordo Cortez

RICORDO CORTEZ was born in Alsace-Lorraine. France, and received his education in New York City. After graduation from high school, Mr. Cortez decided to become a shipping broker, which occupation he followed for a short time, ere he developed a liking for the stage. After a short training course he made his debut in stock, and early demonstrated the possession of a wealth of histrionic talent. He started his screen career with the Pathe Company, and has since done notable work for many prominent producers. He excels in exotic characterizations, though his society roles have brought him a generous measure of "fan" approval. Mr. Cortez is an athlete of considerable fame, being an expert swimmer, and he drives his racing car with great daring. He is an expert dancer, plays golf, is 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighs 175 lbs., and has black hair and brown eyes.
