lssco's The Girl of the Golden West.
Mr.. Mack is rapidly winning favor with
salt Lake audiences by his selection Of
the best plays and his portTs yals Of the
various roles in which he has appeared
here. Mr.. Mack came almost unheraldea
to Salt Lake early in December and sur-
DTiSed everybody by his work in Henri
MiIler's play "On Parole" and Nat G.
Goodwin's success "A Gold Mine His
ork as Dick johnson. road agent and
bandit. in The Girl of the Golden West
affords a better opportunity for the dis
play of his talents than any role he has
heretofore appeared in here and he grasps
every opportunity offered. He IS graceful
and convincing and has surrounded him
self with capa bic support. Miss Blanche
Douglas as The Girl is very good She IS
handsome and carries her climaxes with
splendid effect. Ramsey Wallace as Snef-
if Rance left little to be desired The
production is adequate and no better at
traction has been seen at the Colonial

Mack will be seen here next week COM
