Nila Mack
Nila Mack (October 24, 1891 in Arkansas City, Kansas – January 20, 1953 in New York, New York) was the creator and director of ''Let's Pretend'', the long-running CBS radio series for children. She was the Director of Children's Programs for CBS from 1930 to 1953. Born Nila Mac, she was an only child. She added a "k" to her name because she felt "Mac" looked like a nickname. However, some sources, including her obituary in ''The New York Times'', said her birth name was Nila MacLoughlin.〔''The New York Times'', 21 January 1953, p. 31.〕 Her mother, Margaret, was a dance instructor. Her father, Don Carlos, was a railroad engineer who died in a train accident when Nila was very young. After his death, she attended an Illinois finishing school, Ferry Hall in Lake Forest, and later took classes in both Arkansas City and Boston, financing her education by playing piano at her mother’s dance studio. ==Vaudeville to Broadway== She joined a traveling repertory company where she met and married actor Roy Briant. She worked in vaudeville and spent six years with the Nazimova company, appearing with that troupe on Broadway in ''Fair and Warmer'' and ''A Doll’s House'', as well as the play and film versions of ''War Brides'' (1918). When her husband died in December 1927, after 13 years of their marriage, Mack took various acting jobs and wrote comedy for Nydia Westman and Fanny Brice.
