Kerrigan, John Garrick, Tommy Clifford, Alice Joyce, Farrell Macdonald, Effie Ellsler, Andreas De Segurola, Emily Fitzroy, and Edwin Schneider. Note that an unusual bit of trivia about this movie is that McCormack was an Irish singer, and Fox imported young actress Maureen O'Sullivan (then 19) to make the movie more authentic (in her screen debut!), and of course, she became massively successful in Hollywood!
