About Joe Yule

Joseph "Joe" Yule, born Ninnian Joseph Ewell, was a vaudeville comedian who starred in many films as a character actor. He was noted for his role in the "Jiggs and Maggie" film series.

Yule was born in the Polmadie district of Glasgow. As a child, he emigrated with his parents to the United States (circa 1900). He married Nellie W. Carter, who was from Kansas City, Missouri. Both were vaudeville actors, and were appearing together in a Brooklyn production of A Gaiety Girl when their son Joseph Yule, Jr., was born. Their son would later adopt the professional name Mickey Rooney.

The Yules separated in 1924 during a slump in vaudeville, and in 1925, Nell Yule moved with her son to Hollywood. Yule died 25 years later from a heart attack, aged 57.
