Mack always had a dream of being a show business star. However, no one liked him in the few play parts he had. He decided things needed to change, so he learned slapstick humor. The crowds loved it and they loved him. Once Thomas Edison invented the Kinetoscope, the beginning stages of a filming camera, Mack knew he had to continue to pursue his career in movie making. Mack had several jobs at big movie studios doing manual labor, like building sets. It wasn't until he was helping film a movie that he realized movies would be a lot more fun if they were humorous, slapstick comedies. He and two other people started their own movie company and began filming movies. They signed many big actors of this time period and became well known for their comedic movies. Mack had finally made his dream become a reality. This biography was informative and gives the reader a lesson of never give up on your dreams. I really liked this biography because it was not about a "typical" person children already know or have heard about. Instead it was about Mack. I think children would definitely love to read this story because it is about movies, which everyone loves and can relate to. I also like that it teaches the reader a lesson of never giving up. I believe children cannot hear this message enough in their young formative years.
