Who is Andrew P. Wilson?
Andrew P. Wilson, born 1886 in Edinburgh, Scotland, was a UK director, playwright, teacher, and actor. He acted as General Manager for the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, Ireland in 1914-15. There, he produced his own play, The Slough, about Irish poor. He was also one of the co-creators of The Scottish National Players.
In 1924 he directed a series of silent films adapted from the golf stories of P.G. Wodehouse. The films featured actor Harry Beasley as a caddie who observes the humorous dramas of various golfers, thus providing a connective tissue between the short films.
Wilson wrote radio plays for the BBC, including the series "Sandy and Andy" that ran between 1936 and 1947.
