Biography

Frederick Burton entame sa carrière d'acteur au théâtre et joue notamment à Broadway (New York) entre 1904 et 1930, principalement dans des pièces ; son avant-dernière en 1927-1928 est Coquette de George Abbott et Ann Preston (avec Helen Hayes et Una Merkel).

Toujours à Broadway, il apparaît également dans deux comédies musicales, dont Ruggles of Red Gap en 1915-1916, sur une musique de Sigmund Romberg (avec Louise Closser Hale et Jessie Ralph), adaptation du roman éponyme de Harry Leon Wilson. S'ajoute l'opéra Deep River, sur une musique de W. Franke Harling (avec Luis Alberni), représenté en 1926.

Au cinéma, Frederick Burton débute durant la période du muet, son premier film sortant en 1914. Son dernier film muet est Dans la peau du lion de Gregory LaCava (avec W. C. Fields et Mary Brian), sorti en 1927 ; entretemps, citons Le Lieutenant Douglas de Douglas Fairbanks et Albert Parker (1918, avec Douglas Fairbanks et Theodore Roberts) et Cheating Cheaters d'Allan Dwan (1919, avec Jack Holt et Clara Kimball Young).

Et signalons que son deuxième film muet est Ruggles of Red Gap de Lawrence C. Windom (1918, avec Taylor Holmes dans le rôle-titre), première adaptation à l'écran du roman éponyme précité, où il reprend le rôle qu'il avait créé à Broadway.

Son premier film parlant est le western La Piste des géants de Raoul Walsh (1930, avec John Wayne et Marguerite Churchill). Le dernier de ses cent-vingt-quatre films américains est La Fière Créole de John M. Stahl (1947, avec Maureen O'Hara et Rex Harrison) ; dans l'intervalle, mentionnons Théodora devient folle de Richard Boleslawski (1936, avec Irene Dunne et Melvyn Douglas) et La Reine de l'argent de Lloyd Bacon (1942, avec George Brent et Priscilla Lane).
