| Western film expert Les Adams co-authored Shoot-Em-Ups with Buck Rainey. About twenty years ago, Les also wrote and published a series of softcover 'zines titled Yesterday's Saturdays, and each issue highlighted a couple dozen B westerns and included cast lists, plot synopsis, ad cuts, etc. Les has a massive database on the B western and serial, and that database includes info on the heroes, heroines, supporting players, directors, producers, et al. Following is a database run of those wonderful folks who worked behind the camera, authoring screenplays and developing the plots and stories used in the B western. Some of the more prolific of these are Robert Emmett Tansey, Gerald Geraghty, Barry Shipman and Oliver Drake. In these two listings, you will find the names of several talented women that helped in the creation of those western programmers - included are Frances Kavanaugh, Adele Buffington, Betty Burbridge, and Rose Gordon. |

| On the right are the husband and wife team of Rose Gordon, who was Writer-Script Supervisor and Vice President of Reliable Pictures, and director/producer Harry S. Webb, circa mid 1930s. Webb began his career in the silent era, and was in charge of many 'Poverty Row' westerns starring the likes of Bob Steele, Tom Tyler, Jack Randall, more. Webb's credits are under his own name as well as 'Henri Samuels'. |  |  (Courtesy of the Robert Webb Family) |
 (Courtesy of Frances Kavanaugh & Robert Hecker) | | Left is Frances Kavanaugh (1915 - 2009), one of several busy and talented women who did work 'behind the scenes' in the B westerns and serials. Most of Frances' work was in the 1940s at Monogram and PRC with cowboy heroes Eddie Dean, Tom Keene, the Range Busters and the Trail Blazers. More on Frances is at: Cowgirl Hall of Fame: http://www.cowgirl.net/portfolios/frances-kavanaugh/ and her papers and ephemera are archived at the Autry National Center: http://collections.theautry.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=keyword;keyword=%22frances%20kavanaugh%22 |

| The creation of a basic 'story' or plotline, as well as one or more of the characters that would appear in a film, were often credited to non-Hollywood authors who wrote books, short stories or magazine pieces. In the following list, several of these 'book authors' are included since they were given film credit for one or more of: 1) the story 2) one or more characters 3) "based on a story or characters or an idea created by ..." For example, Clarence E. Mulford penned (most of) the Hopalong Cassidy novels, so he is given credit for the story/character creation in the Hoppy films. Likewise with Fred Harman, the creator of the Red Ryder comic strip. Another example is Zane Grey and there were a number of films based on his writings. |
 Novels authored by Zane Grey were the basis for many A and B grade westerns. Above are two well-worn ZG books among the Old Corral collection - neither book is very valuable, and both titles are familiar to western movie fans. |
 | | On the left is the cover of another well-worn book in the Old Corral collection. The Coming Of Cassidy by Clarence E. Mulford was originally published in 1908 and was Mulford's sixth Hopalong novel. This (not very valuable) book was published in 1913 by the A. L. Burt Company, New York. There's one illustration in the book which is in color. You can see the illustration at the Maine Memory Network: http://www.mainememory.net/bin/Detail?ln=8670 |

 (From Old Corral collection) Robert Emmett Tansey produced and directed the above Tom Keene oater for Monogram under his 'Robert Emmett' and 'Robert Tansey' name variations ... and Tansey and Frances Kavanaugh collaborated on the story. Keene is wrestling a Winchester away from Rocky Camron (Gene Alsace), and Camron was a frequent player in films crafted by Robert Tansey. Stuntwoman and great rider Betty Miles is shown in the bottom right corner of this lobby card.  (From Old Corral collection) Kermit Maynard starred in a bunch of mountie and traditional horse operas for Maurice Conn's little Ambassador Pictures company in the 1930s, and the stories on many of these were credited to Northwoods adventure writer James Oliver Curwood. |
