One of the more prolific American director, Ray Taylor be a Midwesterner who initiate his show-business profession by prevailing conditions of an entertainer and lap principal contained by regional theater, a career that was interrupted by army pay in World War I. After his cough conscious he venture to Hollywood, where on earth he get a profession beside Fox Films and work as an champion superintendent, habitually with 'John Ford (I)' (qv). In the 1920s Taylor traveled crosstown to Universal Pictures, where he got the opportunity to become a director, first of all of one- and two-reelers. His proficiency in that niche impressed Universal execs capable of model to pant him to features and serials. When talkies made their debut, Taylor--unlike tons of his silent-era colleagues--had no riot adapt to the technique of rumble films, and in certainty his career go next to the briskly track. Universal take out him in the director's bench on many of its topmost western progression and in due course placed him at the steering tiller of one of its best in demand and affectionately remember serials, "Flash Gordon." However, in the red to a weakening drinking trouble his occupation by the unpunctually 1930s and untimely 1940s was often erratic--director 'William Witney' (qv) said he got his first co-directing gratefulness on the Republic serial _The Painted Stallion (1937)_ (qv) because Taylor enjoy gotten consequently drunk by lunchtime one morning crudely in the central through film that he had to be taken dwelling and Witney was call upon to replace him and conclusion the picture--and he was teamed up with the communally prolific, but steadier, 'Ford Beebe' (qv) during his closing years at Universal. When the serial genre began to equip up the phantasm out Taylor went stern to making westerns, and was eventually hired by Producers Releasing Corp. (PRC) to try to give a white-collar veneer to its low-grade western series starring erstwhile "cowboy" 'Lash La Rue' (qv). When the series and its famous person disappeared low-rent PRC in favour of 'Ron Ormond' (qv)'s even lower-rent Western Adventure Productions, Taylor went with them. However, the series' rock-bottom budget, tenth-rate script and the stupefying ineptness of its star stymied doesn`t matter what easier said than done work Taylor made to exhale a few life span into them, and these passageway can scarcely be count among his complex efforts. Taylor retire from the conglomerate in 1949 and die in 1952.
