JACK ROSE TELLS HOW A FAMOUS ACTOR AND HE LOST THEIR ALL By JACK ROSE. Copyright, 1912, by Star Company. All 'ights reserved. Any infringement will be vigorously prosecuted.) NEW YORK Aug 14 My next a: tempt to break away from the gambling j business and my gambling associate- I was made shortly after my reeom ilia (ton with Rosenthal, through a cham i acquaintance made in a gambling house The man was the late H* nry Lee one of America's most prominent ' actors. Lei- was a remarkable man. of com I manding appearance and a scholar and 'bls one passion was gambling He neve, drank ot‘ had any other bad habit, but was an Inveterate gambler i Hr earned a tremendous salary, some- I times as high as fifteen hundred dol i lar» a week, w ith a form of entertain ment in vaudeville entirely his own. It was known as "Great Men. Past land Present," and in it he displayed I his wonderful powers as a character ac- I tor. l ee was the man who ai one time starred in the play Cyrano de Ber gerac." made famous by the late Rich ard Mansfield. The erltiis throughout the country were loud In their praise of Lee's art. and in cities where both Mansfield and Lee appeared at opposition play house.- In the hamc play Lee never suffered by comparison. I had often seen Lee in vaudeville and admired him greatly 1 had also seen hint when he created the role of Slmonodes in that spectacular produc tion of "Ben- H ut." I lost track of him. ami found out later that he was making a tour of the world collecting material for a form of entertainment original w ith himself. 1 met him upon his return from abroad one night In a gambling house up- I town. Immediately I entered I lie room I recognized Henry Lee. He was n man who would have been singled out in any Company He stood mote than six feet high and was built tn the proportion of an athlete He always wore a mon ocle. Lee Would Lose All Every Time. In gambling houses Lee was known as a good "sucker," as he had a large earning capacity and was noted as los ing every dollar of It each time he played When he lost all, credit was freely extended to him. Written or ders were accepted front him on the box office of the theater where his next engagement was to be played. He always honored these "I (> U's " The passion of gambling had stu b a hold on Lee that he used to play and play until the game would be closed on him Then he would beg for just one more roll of the wheel. Roulette was his favorite game. I sat beside him the first night w< met. and I. too, began playing. Lee was constantly losing and I was winning. He loft the table on three occasions and had earnest whispered conversations with the manager of the gambling house. After each talk *the manager would come back to the table with Lee and issue an order to the dealer to let Mr. Lee have another SIOO worth of credit. When the last SIOO was given Lee and he lost it he again went to the mana ge! and asked for more The manager absolutely refused him another dollar of credit. Lee stood around watching the game, the picture of despair. • I was still quite a good winner, and at the end of a deal I cashed in three hundred dollars. While the cards were being shuffled for the next deal 1 took the money and went into an adjoining room where a telephone was installed for the use of patrons." I called one of the attendants and told him to go over to Mr Lee and whisper to him that he was wanted on the "phone." which he did Lee came rushing over and was sur prised to see me there 1 said "Mr. Lee. my name is Jack Rose I have been too often in the pre dicament you are tn now I know who you are. and If you will permit me 1 would like to extend you whatever financial assistance I can. so far as my ; means will permit. Lost S3OO. Borrowed S7OO More. His thanks knew no limits He just kept thanking and thanking me. I gave him the three hundred dollars 1 had. and we both went back to the table to Play. He didn't last very long. Soon 1 passed him over som« more money and continued doing so until he owed me SI,OOO. Then the dealer announced the list •deal, and the game was closed for the I night Lee and I went out together and be- I fore parting he said Say Rose, you ate a decent sort of •-hap. I would like very much if you , will can at my hotel tomorrow Aside HUNT STEPFATHER IN SEARCH FOR SLAYER OF SIX YEAR OLD GIRL LOS ANGELES.

I agreed, ami the following evening I met him at his hotel. One of the first things I told him was how unfortunate II was that a man like him gambled as much as he did. 1 pointed out how impossible it was for him to win. that he was the softest kind of a mark; that half the time he didn't know whether he won or lost. Lee agreed with me and went on to tell me the most pathetic story I over listened to—of the ruin and misery gambling had brought to him. He had owned theaters in the cities of Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, he said. He was one of the first Amer icans to go there. He made a fortune In Australia and lost It all gambling. He left Australia In debt and disgraced. He traveled from Australia, to South Africa. There, too. he became a "lion," but gambling again got him. He had to leave South Africa disgraced and discredited. Prom South Africa Loe went to Lon don. and for almost a year appeared in one music hall at tin enormous salary. I.ee was the rage in London, and the same result, gambling, lost him not only his money, but his friends and hi standing in the theatrical profession I I listened, helil spellbound by a tale that 1 knew from my own experience was only too true. He then said: Asks Rose to Be His Manager "Rose, after what you have told ami shown me about what a fool I am t > continue to gamble I am ready to swear off if you too will swear off and throw your lot with me and act as my man ager in < xploiting a form of amusement I have originated "We Will both grow immensely wealthy, and the world Is our terri tory." I asked him what the proposition was He told me to come and see him tile following day and he would then have a prospectus a' complete for my reading. 1 left him overjoyed at mv good fortune, as I knew from my short experience in matter.- theatrical that the name Henry Lee without anything else had a large commercial value. I went home, told my devoted wife that bet prayers that I give up the gambling business had been answered; that something as if from Heaven had come m the form of Henry Leo. She. like me. knew of Lee by reputa tion, and was overjoyed. The following day I met Lee and he was all prepared with the prospectus. He also showed me newspaper . ip- | SHOP TALK | The I’nited Credit Clothing Company has opener! a new Southern branch in At lanta at 73’» Whitehall street This con cern is one of the largest in the country and has attained great success. .1.1. , I Cook, the local manager, is very entliusi- ’ I astic over this branch and has already j I established himself in the tie roughly I equipped shop on Whitehall street —— - I Prof. La Voux. the scientific palmist j 'nt 74 Walton street, is attracting .row.is, ) and is proving popular with the Atlanta i I public ■ Mrs I springer is nt present in X, w A ork >n the interest of the firm of I 1 spring, r at S 3 Whitehall stm t.

They spoke in the most praiseworthy tone of the performance. Lee Had Great Act. The entertainment was one of the first to realize the future possibilities of moving pictures. Lee. on his travels around the world, had secured stereop ticon views of everything of interest, also of men of prominence. These were all made into films and projected on canvas with Lee deliver ing a lecture that was a masterpiece of elocution and acting. Each time he left the stage and tc appcared made up as the character oi some world-renowned personage In had just showed on the canvas. For instance, he would take his au dience on a trip to Shakespeare’s home and last resting place. Then Le° would appear made up as Shakespear, reciting Shakespeare’s "Seven Ages." Then he took his audience to th; races at Ascot on Derby day when King Edward’s horse won the Derby Lee would appear as King Edward. When his audience was visiting tht Vatican at Rome and the late Pope Leo was shown on the screen Lee appear. 1 as the pope. At Mount Vernon he appeared as George Washington He impersonate! former President Roosevelt, General G ant. General Lee. Dickens.
