No way is this Clydie. This is Manuel King from Brownsville, Texas. The Blog had pics of him and Clyde in later years. This is a young Clyde Beatty. Manuel and Clyde had worked in movies together.

Right, BOB. And this shot is from the mid-'30s. Clyde, Jr., was born on January 14, 1952, in Los Angeles. Beatty and King co-starred in Republic's first serial, the 15-chapter DARKEST AFRICA, in 1936. Also co-starring was Ray "Crash" Corrigan in his gorilla suit. This gorilla had a name which hearty researchers can find on IMDb.
