Selected filmography
He was also one of the co-creators of the Scottish National Players (1921–1924). In 1924 he directed a series of silent films adapted from the golf stories of P.G. 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. (In the short stories, this function is performed by The Oldest Member of a golfing club.) Wilson wrote radio plays for the BBC, including the series Sandy and Andy that ran between 1936 and 1947.
