Offered here is a vintage original silent film felt pennant featuring the popular silent film actor J. WARREN KERRIGAN during his motion picture career as a star at Universal Pictures c.1916. Printed on dark blue felt, a portrait photograph of Mr. Kerrigan has been affixed to the top of the pennant. This pennant is in very good+ condition with random areas of light flaking and creasing within the image of Mr. Kerrigan from age (pennants of this age will most likely have some type of fault or imperfection). Pennants feature the studio name that the star was associated with along with a photo of the actor/actress and measure approximately 8-5/8" long by 2-7/8" wide (at top). These are very sought-after by collectors of original silent film/Silent Era memorabilia. George Jack Warren Kerrigan (July 25, 1879 – June 9, 1947) was an American silent film actor and director. Born in New Albany, Indiana, Kerrigan worked as a warehouse clerk in his teens until a chance arrived to appear in a vaudeville production. He continued to act in traveling stock productions, though he took a brief time away from the stage to attend the University of Illinois. By the time he was 30 years old, he had begun to make appearances in films for the Essanay Studios. A contract with the American Film Corporation opened the door to leading roles, often as a modern man of the age. He starred in over 300 films up to 1924. Director James Cruze cast him as the rugged lead in The Covered Wagon (1923), at which point 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.
