Robert Bradbury
Mini-Biography
Prolific western producer, director and writer Robert N. Bradbury
was in films from1918.
Even in the silent period, Bradbury was none too selective about his assignments,
fluctuating from major-studio programmers
to the fly-by-night quickies produced by
Anthony J. Xydias and other entrepreneurs.
In the early 1930s, Bradbury directed
many of the now-famous Lone Star "B" westerns
( Riders of Destiny, Blue Steel etc.) starring John Wayne.
Bob Steele
Robert North Bradbury was the father of cowboy star Bob Steele,
who made his first appearances under his dad's direction in
Pathe's Adventures of Bill and Bob
semi-travelogues of the 1920s;
perhaps significantly, many of the Bob Steele vehicles
of the 1930s scripted by Bradbury
concerned the hero's search for the man who murdered his father
