Biography
Maude Fulton cemented her Broadway reputation as a playwright. Most of Fulton's theatrical pieces, including The Humming Bird, The Brat and The Girl from Avenue A, were eventually filmed by Hollywood. Her own entree into movies was as a character actress in the silent productions Silk Legs (1927) and Nix on Dames (1929). Maude Fulton turned screenwriter in the early-talkie era, working on such no-nonsense melodramatic fare as Safe in Hell (1931), The Maltese Falcon (1931) and Broadway Bad (1933). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
