The actress and screenwriter Elizabeth Burbridge joined the film business
in 1913 where she soon became a popular movie star in the next years.
To her first movies belong "Too Many Maids" (13), "Turning the Table"
(13), "His Father" (13), "The Mystery of Buffalo Gap" (14), "The Colonel
of the Nuts" (14), "The Heart of a Crook" (14), "The Gangster and the Girl"
(14), "Shorty and Sherlock Holmes" (14) and "The Face on the Ceiling" (14)
as well as a whole movie serial about the figure Slim - impersonated by
Walter Rodgers - among them "Slim and the Boys at Breezy Ranch" (13), "Slim's
Last Trick" (14), "Slim's Strategy" (14), "Slim and the Indinans" (14)
and "Slim Joins the Army" (14).
In the next years followed again numerous movies in which she was convincing
as an actress. To these movies belong "A Midas of the Desert" (15), "Tricked"
(15), "The Spark from the Embers" (15), "Rumpelstiltskin" (15), "The Promoter"
(15), "Blind Justice" (15), "The House of Revelation" (16), "Golden Lies"
(16), "The Spider's Web" (16) and "Charity" (16).
Afterwards she retired from the film business as an actress and concentrated
to her second career as a screenwriter.
In contrast to her own appearance with the innocent look and the delicately
chiseled features she became established as a screen writer for western
movies. She wrote more than 120 movies in the next years, among them only
few for other genres.
To these productions belong the silent movies "The Brand of Hate" (17),
"Tears and Smiles" (17), "Rough Ridin'" (24), "Fast and Fearless" (24),
"Full Speed" (25), "The Galloping Jinx" (25), "The Fighting Cheat" (26),
"Easy Going" (26), "Rawhide" (26), "The Bonanza Buckaroo" (26), "Pals in
Peril" (27), "The Phantom Buster" (27) and "The Cowboy Cavalier" (28).
Her busiest time as a screen writer followed in the sound film era of
the 30s and she was also responsible for many western movies with Gene
Autry.
To her works of those years belong "In Old Cheyenne" (31), "Chinatown
After Dark" (31), "The Lone Trail" (32), "Phantom Thunderbolt" (33), "Girl
Trouble" (33), "Arizona Nights" (34), "Tracy Rides" (35), "Reckless Roads"
(35), "Wild Horse Rodeo" (37), "Under Western Stars" (38), "Pals of the
Saddle" (38), "Red River Range" (38), "New Frontier" (39) and "South of
the Border" (39).
With the end of the western boom at the end of the 40s her activity
as a screen writer diminished as well. In the 40s she wrote the scripts
for productions like "Rancho Grande" (40), "Under Texas Skies" (40), "Riders
of the Badlands" (41), "Robin Hood of the Range" (43), "The Cisco Kid Returns"
(45), "Oregon Trail" (45), "Alias Billy the Kid" (46), "The Man from Rainbow
Valley" (46), "The Return of Wildfire" (48) and "The Daring Caballero"
(49).
She only wrote few scripts in the 50s, among them for the Gene Autry
Show and an episode for the serial "The Range Rider: The Bandit Stallion"
(52).
