Clarence Auckland Handyside (April 28, 1854 – December 20, 1931) was an American actor.

[citation needed] Handyside's acting debut came in Canada when he was 21 years old.

Clarence Handyside, a 1912 cast member at the Elitch Theatre, appearing for the second straight season, and who had long been a favorite in New York, expressed his sentiments about leaving: "There is always a touch of real sadness about this breaking up of the summer stock company.

Mrs. Mary Elitch Long looks after her family of summer players with such care – finding them delightful homes, promoting fine friendships, arranging many pleasures for them – that the work here doesn’t seem like work at all, but just one long, pleasant outing.

When the last curtain shuts us from the audience, and we gather on the dimly-lit stage for the last time to say good-bye, there are lumps in every throat, and tears in every eye.
