Jack Langrishe, courtesy Denver
Public Library.
A
native of New York, Jack (John) S.
Langrishe, an actor, impresario, and production manager, had been
operating different theatres for some 17 years before his arrival in
Deadwood,
South Dakota
in 1876. Married to a wife named Jenette, and preferring working in the
Old West
to the stages of New York's Broadway, the pair opened several theatres
during their careers, including one in Denver,
Colorado
and another in Helena,
Montana,
before opening their
Deadwood operation. Over the years,
the pair worked with several well-known names of the time including Fanny
Price, Charlotte Cushman, Jim and Belle Gilbert, Augusta Chambers, Viola
Porter, and more. Later, Langrishe
would would be elected justice in Coeur d’Alene,
Idaho
1886, and managed the Wardner News in 1891. He died in Wardner,
Idaho
on December 12, 1895
