why beautiful women keep right on marry
ing Willard Mack. What are his special
qualifications for the matrimonial race
which always make him a winner-and
ultimately a loser?
Does nationality count as an attraction?
He is a Canadian.
Is there charm in a name? His name is
Willard Mack for stage and writing pur.
poses. In fact, it is Charles Mclaughlin.
Is education of irresistible charm to
women? Evidently not for bespectacled
college professors would then win the
beauties.
Is 1t adventure? There he has an adj.

Alaska, remaining in that land of gold and

was succeeded by sea tramp voyage to
Japan. He wandered about the Orient

he has put into some of his plays, and
doubtless into some OF his entertaining,
privately told stories.
Is 1t because he Is an actor? Men who
play stage heroes interest women, much
to the disgust Of their prosaic husbands,
who go downtown and earn money to buy
them fine gowns to wear to matinees
where they witness the disturbing heroes
exploits.
Is 1t youth? He is forty-three.
Is II because of unusual good looks?
Mr.. Mack is rather more than plump. He
verges upon the state of being portly
Is II manner? Mr.. Mack doesn't claim
any such distinction. He is man of open
spaces, not the drawing room. Whatever
the age Of the woman who addresses him
he answers 'ma'am," not according to the
drawing room.
Is II because Of exceptionally good
clothes? The playwright likes loose, com.
Portable attire. He doesn't care whether
II is this seasons style or that OF three or
FIVE years ago. Indeed, he agrees with
Talleyrand who said, ITO be quite elegant
be one season behind"
Is II achievement? He is a playwr ght
who has written plays that received the
cachet Of David Belasco's favor and ran a

output Is uneven.
