James Gerald Berry (July 9, 1915 – January 28, 1969), also known as Bubbles, was an American actor and dancer. He featured in several silent films as a child, and starred in the Berry Brothers dance duo (later a trio) alongside his brothers.
As a child, Berry and his older brother Ananias (Nyas) began performing dance routines together. The family moved to Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Berry began acting in silent comedy films with the Century Film Corporation. He formed the Berry Brothers dance duo with Nyas in the 1920s, and they were later joined by their younger brother Warren. The brothers starred in several Broadway shows together, and featured in films through the 1930s and 1940s.
