Description
Silent film star William Boyd (1895-1972) first played Hopalong Cassidy in 1935 and continued playing the part in film and TV until his retirement in 1953.
Boyd had wisely bought the rights to all the Hoppy features shrewdly anticipating that TV would need product, as it exploded in the late 1940's/early 1950's.
Boyd also marketed seemingly endless Hoppy merchandise.
His 1930's Westerns were competition to Duke's in the one horse rural communities, lucky enough to have a movie theater.
