indefinite as yet yetas aa vague as the assurance that the Keeley cure will really perfect a cure in the case ClIe of the one whom the too tolerant public suf sut suffered suffered so long but It Is understood that heroic measures and treatment are re being taken to get him In shape to be presented pres the week of or Nov 28 At the present time Mr Mack capable as he Is when out of his cups and the assurance is given that he is In that con condition is cleverly enacting the leading role in what might be called The Man Manof Manof Manof of Mystery and he Is ably supported The company has been well drilled in their parts and the only thing they know knowIs Is what they cant or dont want to tell Following Macks last fiasco when so o far gone under the effects of liquor that he became a maudlin insult to the wo we women women men attending the matinee performance he ho was given into the care of ot the Keeley institute for treatment Last Monday le Ie was removed from there to the

from the Keeley Keele institute and the themore themore themore more important one that he would soon toon reappear at the Grand At the Keeley institute last night It was admitted by the manager that Mr Mack Ma k had not been officially released or dis discharged diScharged charged from the institute as having un undergone undergone undergone the full course ol oZ treatment but any explanation was hidden behind the equivocal I would rather not say any thing about the matter It was gleaned however that Mack Is still undergoing treatment that there Is some hope that he will be all right again soon and that should be get right he will wUl ap pear at the Grand again When asked the abrupt question Is Mack going to appear In the Grand again Mr Pelton last night replied as promptly You can say sa that there Is no positive arrangement or contract made between Mr Mack and myself the Den Denver Denver Denver ver theatre or anyone connected with the GramI Graid The words that there was no positive agreement led the reporter to ask if It there was a possibility and was Informed that all that had passed between Mr Mack and the Grand management since the re repudiation repudiation repudiation of the fallen actor occurred Friday when Mr Mack appeared at the theatre office and Informed Mr Ur Pelton that he was going that he would bring back some ducks and that when he returned he wanted to have a long Ions talk And he was perfectly sober too Mr Pelton added When asked if Mr Mad would open n The Squaw Man the week of Nov o 23 Mr Pelton with some vehemence said that there was absolutely no arrangement with Mack that next week Brown of Harvard would be the bill but did not state who would follow Brown whether It would be bo Mack of ot Bibulous Tendency or someone else Theres a Reason In the long shadows falling on the cur tain tam of or vagueness however theres a reason The financial end of ot theatrical ventures Is a strong element and In this case casts one of the longest shadows shadow The Grand management would like to get some money back even by b taking the desperate chance chanc of ot public resentment at the foisting of Mr Ir Mack Mask billed yet et and wont be un til UI it Is seen how the Keeley cure and the trip act as a curative but It is In the cards that Mack will tread or stumble the boards again if only to get the money back Whether Salt Lake theatregoers will stand for Willard Mack again remains to be seen The Grand theatre manage ment meat apparently is willing to take a chance If Mack returns sober Tho Those se patrons however who go to see Willard Mack knowing his record In Salt Lake certainly can make no complaint when the Inevitable happens Salt Lake Is not New York and a pretense of ot decency at least ought to be Insisted
