Biography
Oxford delivered H. Cooper Cliffe to the world on 19 July 1862, and from that quiet English city he set off to make noise on stage and screen. Between Broadway gaslights and the flicker of early celluloid he built a career, slipping into the skin of rogues and romantics for A Parisian Romance (1916), The Argyle Case (1917), and the briskly titled Half an Hour (1920). Off-camera he claimed Alice Belmore as his leading lady in life’s third act. The final curtain fell on 1 May 1939, far from his birthplace, in the electric dusk of New York City.
