Andy also costarred as 'California' in the "Hopalong Cassidy" movies from 1940 - 1948. Many of those are available on DVD; look for "Hopalong Cassidy: Ultimate Collector Edition," with 35 of those 1-hour-long movies. (WalMart is one store that carries it.)
Andy was a popular silent film comedy star in the 1920s, working in short subjects at the Mack Sennett Studios, frequently teamed with Billy Bevan. After sound came in, Andy had his own short subject series at Columbia Studios 1933 - 1956; of all Columbia's short subjects, the 79 Andy Clyde shorts were second only to the Three Stooges in longevity and popularity.
