Ah, thanks again! Incidentally, Vivien Oakland, who appeared with Chase in MIGHTY LIKE A MOOSE, has a role in BOOM GOES THE GROOM.

Thanks Louie! I had a feeling there was a Chase connection there. Is there a kite-flying scene in that Andy Clyde short, as depicted in the picture?

I'm trying to identify which Andy Clyde film this photo is from (should be a Columbia short from the late '30s)...anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for posting this here, Paul . . . it would be great if everyone rallies around this worthy cause. So far the petition has 300+ signatures, which is wonderful, but it can use more - please feel free to forward this to anyone (or any group) you think would be interested.
