Jackie Condon

This filmography was made in collaboration with Matthew Lydick.

full name: John Michael Condon
nickname: Jackie
born Mar. 24, 1918, in Los Angeles, CA
died Oct. 13, 1977, in Inglewood, CA, of colon cancer

Special note: As explained on Lord Heath's excellent website, the usual date given for Jackie's birth is Mar. 25, 1918, but his death records both in California and with the Social Security Administration, as well as his military records, place it one day earlier.

1919

Jackie reportedly started his film career at the age of 21 days, but I've yet to find any reference to an actual title. His earliest known credit was during 1919, sometime after his first birthday.
Not listed below is the Jan. 1920 Mary Pickford film "Pollyanna," which would have been shot in the latter part of 1919. There's a baby in the film that looks like it could be Jackie, but it's too difficult to be sure.

1928

Jackie's Our Gang contract came to an end in late March of this year after the filming of "Growing Pains."
Jackie did, however, return on August 22nd to make one last Our Gang film, "Election Day."
In The Standard casting directory of July 1928, it gives Jackie the nickname "Tousle Head," and explains that all three Condon children (the other two being Geraldine and Billy), had worked in the Our Gang series.

1931

It was in November of this year that Jackie is last seen in a casting directory, as far as I can tell. He doesn't seem to have gotten any roles since leaving Our Gang.

1934

A news item from Jan. 8th of this year mentions a 20th anniversary party for Hal Roach Studios, which was to include Jackie on its guest list.
In a press release dated July 11th, in which Sam Cohn of the Roach studio tells of the whereabouts of former Our Gang members, it explains that Jackie was currently living with his aunt in Hollywood and going to school, and that he hadn't made any films since leaving Our Gang.

1936

A Hal Roach Studios press release from this year, regarding the whereabouts of former Our Gang members, states that Jackie was currently attending Hollywood High School, and occasionally appeared in school plays.
In May (probably on the 24th), Jackie attended a joint breakfast of the Women's Breakfast Club and the Riverside Breakfast Club, which paid tribute to Will Rogers and other screen stars who had passed away. Jean Darling was also present. KFWB broadcasted from the Riverside Breakfast Club on Sunday mornings, and this occasion was probably no exception. In her memoirs, Jean seems to imply that Jackie was occasionally part of these events.
On July 18th, the Our Gang series celebrated its 15th anniversary at the Roach studio, and Jackie was among the former members who took part in the festivities. Several published photographs came out of this event, the caption for one explaining that Jackie was still in school during this period.
The July 28th Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Jackie was currently doing "radio and picture work."

Fox Movietone News (appearance): 1936 - Fox - 1 reel -- newsreel; Our Gang's 15th anniversary is featured in a Hollywood Spotlight segment with Jimmie Fidler.

1937

A Hal Roach Studios press release from this year, regarding the whereabouts of former Our Gang members, states that Jackie had graduated from Hollywood High School and was currently doing radio work.

1943

During this year, the February 18th syndicated column "Star Dust" by Virginia Vale, reporting on the whereabouts of former Our Gang kids, stated that Jackie was currently in the service.

1953

As revealed on the "You Asked For It" episode listed below, Jackie was attempting a comeback during this period. His filmography, however, remains barren from this point on. He spent the majority of his remaining years working as an accountant at Rockwell International, which also employed fellow Gangster Joe Cobb.

You Asked For It episode (appearance): Jul. 27, 1953 - ABC - 30 min. - TV episode; Hosted by Art Baker. Featuring a reunion of the silent-era Our Gang kids, along with Bob McGowan, Fern Carter and Art Lloyd.

Jackie took part in an Our Gang reunion for TV Guide, which was the subject of an article in the May 14th to 20th issue of this year, complete with photos.

Jackie Condon's payroll history

The following is a list of Jackie's history at the Roach studio, with the amounts he was making from week to week. The dates given are Saturdays, the last day of each week at the studio. The only exceptions would be Saturdays that were also holidays, in which case the Friday date is used for those weeks.

Special note: Production A9 (The Champeen!), Production A38 (Ask Grandma), and Production K3 (One Wild Ride) are missing from this list. It appears that in each case, they started off as the previous production, which then got divided into two films.

The earliest information in my files comes from Aug. 1920, so if Jackie worked at the Roach studio prior to that, it's missing from this list. It was in November 1920 that we first encounter him.

Nov. 20, 1920 - 20.00 charged to prod. H43 (Rock-A-Bye Baby)
The ledger indicates that this was for one day of work, on Nov. 17th, but the amount suggests that he made $5 a day for four days of work.

After this, there's a gap in the information between March and September of 1921, with Jackie's next known involvement being with the first film starring Hal Roach's Rascals.

Jan. 7, 1922 - 75.00 charged to prod. A1 (Our Gang)
The amount was paid to both Jack & Bill Condon. Both Jackie and his older brother worked as day players in this film for five days during this week, each earning $7.50 a day.
Jan. 14, 1922 - 15.00 charged to prod. A1
This amount also went to both Jack & Bill Condon, so they did one day of work during this week, each earning $7.50.
Jan. 21, 1922 - 15.00 charged to prod. A1
Again, the amount went to both Jack & Bill Condon, so they again did one day of work during this week, each earning $7.50.

For the next five weeks, Jackie doesn't appear in the ledgers, but on Feb. 28th, he became a contract player, the second (after Ernie Morrison), to be signed for the Our Gang series.

The payroll ledger for 1927 has gone missing, which makes some of the details for these dates unavailable. There are, however, datebooks and payroll summaries that have survived, and these verify most of the information about Jackie's salary that would be found in the ledger. The main exception is that, during the interim between films, it isn't clear which production the player's salary is being charged to.
