Willard Mack's
Gruelling Experience

$50 Much for So Much" the Willard
Mack comedy which will be produced for
the first time by q stock company At
Polls this week, represents the fruition
Of high hopes from q very humble be-
ginning by the author.
Mr. Mack, after his graduation from
Georgetown University. tried to secure .
position as press agent for q theatrical
company, which was Just starting on q
tour Of one-night stands. He was told
by tho manager to show what he could
do In writing an advance notice. This
sample was 30 bad that he lost his op-
portunity. In desperation the young man
accepted q thinking part" with the
company and drifted out West. where he
met and married Marjorie Rambesu.
There the couple remained for several
years. during which time Mr.. and Mrs.
Mack rose to be leading man and leading
y man for q stock company. and finally
Il ~ became producers as well. When
times were hard and the company could
not afford to pay royalties on good
plays" Mack would sit UP at night, after
the performance and try his hand at
writing a play for the following week.
He would write these plays. act at q
time. AID each morning would rehearse
the actswhich he had completed the night
before, between midnight and sunrise.
Thus were born 'kick-In'' and $50 Much
Ior So Much"
This was a gruelling experience both
for Mack and his charming wife, but to-
day they are enjoying the fruits of their
labor. for these two plays are enormous
money makers, and the personal Sue
cesses which both achieved in the lead
ing roles of so Much for So Much" have
made Mr.. Mack a headliner in vaudeville.
while Miss Rambeau Is leading woman
for a current Chicago success, produced
by Oliver Morosco.
