Gladys Gordon (aka G.G. Pendarves, Gladys Gordon Trenery and Marjory E. Lambe, lived 1885–1938) was an English novelist and screenwriter active during Hollywood's silent era.[1][2]
Gordon was born in England in 1885.[2] On all of her screenplays, she collaborated with fellow writer Ada McQuillan.[3][4][2] Under her "G.G. Pendarves" name, Gordon was known for her short stories on the occult and ghosts, which were published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales.[1][2][5] Gordon also wrote adventure fiction about the exploits of Westerners in North Africa; these were published in the pulp magazines Oriental Stories and The Magic Carpet Magazine.[5]
Gordon died in late 1938, in The Wirral, Cheshire.[5] In the December 1938 issue of Weird Tales, editor Farnsworth Wright published an obituary for her, revealing that "G. G. Pendarves" had been Gordon's pseudonym.[5]
