===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>
