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
