James C. Fulton was born in New Orleans, La., December 17, 1869.
Wm. T. Fulton was born in Pass Christian, Miss., October 12, 1871.
Keller Mack (Wm. S. Keller) formed a partnership with Ned Monroe in the Fall of 1888, doing a black-face act at the Baltimore Museum, Baltimore, Md.; as Monroe and Mack they played together until 1896; giving one of the very best black-face acts ever seen in vaudeville.
Mr. Mack’s playing of the “straight” in the act ranked with the best.
After the dissolution, Mr. Mack played for three seasons in “Town Topics,” doing comedy character parts in white-face; then a season as Finnegan, in “Finnegan’s Ball,” after which he rejoined Monroe, and the team duplicated their former successes, playing Koster and Bial’s in New York City for thirteen consecutive weeks; the partnership finally ceased a year later in Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Mack again returned to farce, and played a white-face character part in “A Hot Old Time,” and Jonah, in “A Brass Monkey”; this was followed by two seasons in vaudeville with Tom Dempsey, under the name of Dempsey, Mack and Company.

Following this, Mr. Mack played the leading comedy part in “A Stranger in New York” and in “A Trip to Chinatown” he played Ben Gay.
After this Mr. Mack returned to black-face, doing principal end with Quinlan’s Minstrels; when this company disbanded, he joined hands with Dan Quinlan, playing as Quinlan and Mack until 1910.
Beyond a doubt Keller Mack is one of the most versatile performers we have; playing straight or comedy, black or white with equal success.
Keller Mack was born in Philadelphia, July 10, 1869.
