Andrew Mack Joins Ranks (1914) 🇺🇸
Andrew Mack, the favorite interpreter of devil-may-care Irish roles on the speaking stage, will soon be seen in motion pictures through the medium of his famous success, The Ragged Earl, which is now being produced as a feature on a lavish scale by Popular Plays and Players, Inc.
Mr. Mack has held great popularity in this country and wherever the English language is spoken, for many years, through his ability to charm and entertain.
He was born in Boston, Mass., and when a lad, sang soprano solos in the parish church, and was in great demand for concerts and entertainments.
At the age of twenty-four, Mr. Mack attracted the attention of John Stetson, the old-time manager, who engaged him for a year and presented him to the patrons of the famous old Howard Athenaeum. After that Mack joined Thatcher’s & Ryan’s Minstrels. He then engaged in dramatic work where he soon achieved a high reputation. He appeared successfully in The Ivy Leaf, The Fairies’ Well, My Aunt Bridget, A Jolly Surprise and Killarney. He next starred in Marcus Moriarity’s Irish Loyalty, and afterwards joined A Country Sport. He next starred in W. J. Scanlon’s play, Myles Aroon, and after that starred under the management of Rich & Harris.

Agfa Non-Flam Admitted to U. S. Mails.
The United States Postoffice Department has just informed the Raw Film Supply Company, No. 15 East Twenty-sixth Street, New York City, that tests which have been made of their product, Agfa non-flam film, have resulted in permission being granted to ship Agfa through the United States mails; the ordinary celluloid film cannot be shipped through the mails. That Agfa has been given a passport through Uncle Sam’s postoffices supports the company’s claims that it is non-explosive and non-inflammable.
Agfa, made abroad, is just being introduced in this country and was shown at the recently held International Exposition of the Moving Picture Art at Grand Central Palace.
