Earle Foxe (born Earl Aldrich Fox; December 25, 1891 – December 10, 1973) was an American actor.

Early years[edit]

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[edit]

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.[citation needed]

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[edit]

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]
