==Maggie and Jiggs in other media== ===Stage=== [[File:Bringing Up Father 1914 play.JPG|thumb|180px|Maggie and Jiggs in a scene from the 1914 play.]] [[Gus Hill]]'s production of ''Bringing Up Father'' opened on Broadway in 1914, with music composed by Frank H. Grey, lyrics by Elven E. Hedges, libretto by John P. Mulgrew and Thomas Swift, choreography by Edward Hutchinson, and directed by Frank Tannehill, Jr. Hill produced many more theatrical versions of the strip that toured the country, including ''Bringing Up Father in Florida'', ''Bringing Up Father on Broadway'', ''Bringing Up Father in Ireland'', ''Bringing Up Father Abroad'', and ''Bringing Up Father in Wall Street''. ''Bringing Up Father at the Seashore'' opened on Broadway at the Manhattan Opera House in 1921, but closed after 18 performances; a revised version reopened in 1928. Another of Hill's productions of ''Father'' opened at the Lyric Theatre in 1925. According to The Holloway Pages' history of the strip: "Reportedly, this version had Maggie following a fleeing Jiggs from Ireland to a yacht headed for Spain, but the story was halted frequently for various [[vaudeville]] acts. The show closed after 24 performances".<ref>[http://home.comcast.net/~cjh5801a/Jiggs.htm The Holloway Pages: ''Bringing Up Father'' page]</ref> ===Sheet music=== * "By the Susquehanna Shore" (from ''Bringing Up Father'', 1914) * ''Bringing Up Father on Broadway'' (1919) - songs include: "The Lotus Club Rag", "Dry Those Tears", ""The Fair Irene, and "All for a Girl" * "I'm Longing for a Pair of Irish Eyes" (from ''Bringing Up Father in Florida'', 1920) * ''Bringing Up Father'' (1920 green cover, same design as earlier red cover) - songs include: "The Rose You gave me", "Why Don't They Let the Girlies go to Sea?", and "Let's Get the Irish over Here".

This is the second oldest-known animated film made in the country. In 1927, Norwegian filmmaker [[Ottar Gladtvet]] produced one of the country's earliest animated films, a commercial featuring Jiggs and Maggie titled ''Fiinbeck er rømt'' ("Jiggs Has Run Away"), in which Maggie purchases the finest tobacco Tiedemanns Tobakk AS has to offer in a bid to keep Jiggs from going out.<ref>https://filmarkivet.no/film/details.aspx?filmid=400449 Fiinbeck er rømt</ref> ===Live-action two-reel shorts=== [[File:Jiggs in Society (1920) - Ad.jpg|thumb|Ad for ''Jiggs in Society'' short]] A series of live-action silent comedies featured comedian Johnny Ray as Jiggs, Margaret Cullington as Maggie and [[Laura La Plante]] as daughter Nora. Directed by Reggie Morris, these were produced by International Film Service and released through Pathé Exchange. Confusingly enough, a couple of the titles were duplicated from the earlier cartoons. This series included: * ''Jiggs in Society'' (1920) * ''Jiggs and the Social Lion'' (1920) * ''Jiggs' Close Shave'' [aka ''Father's Close Shave''] (1920) ===Live-action feature films=== The following feature-length films were based on the strip: * ''[[Bringing Up Father (1928 film)|Bringing Up Father]]'' (1928) [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]]: Silent comedy directed by [[Jack Conway (filmmaker)|Jack Conway]], written by [[Frances Marion]] with titles by [[Ralph Spence (screenwriter)|Ralph Spence]], starring [[J. Farrell MacDonald]] as Jiggs, [[Polly Moran]] as Maggie, Gertrude Omstead as their daughter (renamed "Ellen"), and Jules Cowles and [[Marie Dressler]] as Mr. and Mrs. Dinty Moore. * ''[[Vihtori ja Klaara]]'' ([[Finland]], 1939): The first sound comedy based on the strip, although the characters are speaking Finnish; directed by filmmaker [[Teuvo Tulio]]. The ''[[Jiggs and Maggie (film series)|Jiggs and Maggie]]'' film series, all released by [[Monogram Pictures]]: * ''[[Bringing Up Father (1946 film)|Bringing Up Father]]'' (1946) directed by [[Edward F.

Yule is the father of [[Mickey Rooney]], who expressed interest in reviving Jiggs onstage in the late 1980s. Both [[Martha Raye]] and [[Cloris Leachman]] were considered for the part of Maggie, but the project was never produced. ===Comic books=== * ''Bringing Up Father'' was a feature of [[David McKay Publications|David McKay]]'s ''King Comics'' title from No. 60 to No. 135 (1941–1947). * ''Jiggs and Maggie'' [[Standard Comics]] (11 issues, 1949–1953) * ''Jiggs and Maggie'' [[Harvey Comics]] (6 issues, 1953–1954)
