Jack Kerrigan
J. Warren Kerrigan was a silent film actor and director. He lived together with his long-time partner, James Vincent, from about 1914 to Kerrigan's death in 1947.
Born 1879 in New Albany, Indiana. His family called him "Jack" and he would later use several variations of his name including "Warren Kerrigan" and "Jack W. Kerrigan".
Kerrigan worked as a warehouse clerk in his teens until a chance arrived to appear in a vaudeville production in 1897. He continued to act in traveling stock productions, though he took a brief time away from the stage to attend the University of Illinois.
The actor first struck fame on Broadway in "The Road to Yesterday" and "Brown of Harvard". the latter was produced in 1910. Leaving Broadway, he made his first picture in Chicago with Essay Productions. Then he came to California.
Upon the organization of the American Film company, Mr. Kerrigan was the first member to be engaged, and for three years played in every one of the firm's pictures. Among Kerrigan's early pictures were "Rory O' the Bogs," "The Dollar Kid," "The Dream Chester" and "Live Sparks".
The contract with American opened the door to leading roles, often as a modern man of the age. He starred in over 300 films up to 1924.
In May 1917, Kerrigan was nearing the end of a four-month-long publicity tour that had taken him across the United States and into Canada. At one of the final stops, a reporter for The Denver Times asked Kerrigan if he would be joining the war. Kerrigan replied:
“I will go, of course, if my country needs me, but I think that first, they should take the great mass of men who aren't good for anything else, or are only good for the lower grades of work. Actors, musicians, great writers, artists of every kind—isn't it a pity when people are sacrificed who are capable of such things—of adding to the beauty of the world.”
This was picked up and reprinted in newspapers across the country, it stunned his fans and his popularity plummeted, never to fully recover. Family members later reported that his slump in popularity was more due to his living with his mother and partner James Vincent in the same house, and not having a business manager to overcome the negative publicity.
The studios were just emerging as powerhouses with money. They started building the movie “palaces” around the country and even bought-out vaudeville circuits to distribute their pictures. As their fortunes rose, they started to value their actors as assets and set up offices to “protect” them and their images. While several actors were known as “gay” it was an industry “secret”. Many times because the public did not want to know. One of the most famous “investigating” reporters, Loula Parsons knew but kept quiet for fear of being shut out by the studio bosses. In fact, her daughter was said to have been gay herself.
However, what was seen as being non-patrotic and elitist was fair game.
Officially it was stated in Photoplay Magazine 1918 that:
J. Warren Kerrigan was laid up with a broken leg for about eight months. His horse stepped into a gopher hole and then laid down on J. Warren's leg.
He has returned to the screen now and you may be able to see him in "Toby" in a short time. Now just among us girls, it is said that his engagement to —- is about to be announced. But just among us girls, understand. Address Mr. Kerrigan at the Peralta studio.
“Plans? Most of them are house plans so far. You see, my limb was further injured by trying to use it before properly knit, and after consulting many surgeons, one cheerful graveyard purveyor told me that I would have to endure the pleasant sensation of having the bone broken all over again and reset, or I’d suffer from a limp and stiffness for the balance of my days. We never take advice we don’t like, do we? I hunted up another practitioner, who made an X-ray and then assured me that I would be cured by daily massage treatments. His theory has proven correct, and while it was a long siege, I find I can stand and walk longer every day, and so, at last, I can go to work again. The thing which has worried me most was the broken promises made to my friends all over the States when I told them positively that pictures under my new contract would be released last summer. They have been so patient and have sent me such beautiful letters of cheer and gifts to enliven my convalescence that I lie awake nights trying to figure out some plan by which I may show my gratitude to those faithful fans.” — J. Warren Kerrigan
“You see, the bungalow we are in is just rented furniture. Such a brown, ugly, dingy old thing it is. For once in my life, I will have the joy of selecting an entire houseful of furniture. The outside of this house will be white with green shingles. I think that is so restful in this sunny land, don’t you?” — J. Warren Kerrigan
Seldom one to go in for lavish entertainment, for which Hollywood has been known, Kerrigan remained somewhat aloof and invested his money in annuities and real estate.
Aside from his friends in the picture world, Kerrigan was known as a bird and animal fancier. At his home in Hollywood, Cal., he had a collection of blooded dogs, hares, pigeons, chickens, and ducks, several of were given prizes at local shows.
Egar to get back to work, director James Cruze cast him as the rugged lead in The Covered Wagon (1923), Kerrigan found himself back on top, although fleetingly. In the spring of 1924, after John Barrymore bowed out, Kerrigan was assigned the starring role in Captain Blood. While the film was a moderate success, critics were unmoved and Kerrigan found himself working less and less and in smaller roles.
In 1924 Kerrigan and Vincent, and other friends were in an automobile accident in Dixon, Illinois, on the route from Sterling to Chicago. According to the Des Moines Tribune, his face was badly scarred and it was stated that "he may never star in films again”. In the news, James Vincent was again named as Kerrigan's secretary.
His “longtime companion”, James Carroll Vincent was also a silent movie actor. He was born in 1897, in Baltimore, Maryland. He moved to California to be an actor and met Jack Warren Kerrigan. We don't know much about how they met but Vincent moved into Kerrigan's home. They began a long-term relationship. He was listed at various times as Kerrigan's secretary or gardener. Not to be confused with actor James Vincent, born in 1882 or stage manager James Vincent, born in 1900 who committed suicide in 1953 in New York City.
In 1919 Vincent, who was a "juvenile" actor, appeared in the cast of "Out of Court", in 1920 he was in the cast of "The Coast of Opportunity" and in 1924 in the cast of "$30,000", all three of them movies with or by Kerrigan.
On June 9, 1947, Kerrigan died from pneumonia at the age of 67. He is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, Los Angeles, California.
After Kerrigan's death, Vincent married Mitty Lee Turner. He committed suicide by gas in his bedroom four months later. Vincent also is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
