JACK ROSE TELLS HOW A FAMOUS ll
_ ACTOR AND HE LOST .THEIR ALL
By JACK ROSE.
(Copyright, 1912, by Star Company. All
rights reserved. Any infringement
will be vigorously prosecuted !
NEW YORK. Aug 14 —My next at
tempt to break away from the gambling
busine-.« and my gambling associates
was-made shortly' after my reconcilia
tion with Rosenthal, through a chanct
, acquaintance made in a gambling
house. The man was the late Henry
Lee, one of America s most prominent
actors.
Lee was a remarkable man of <om
jmanding appearance and a scholar, and
his one passion was gambling
He never drank or had any other had
i habit, but was an inveterate gambler
He earned a tremendous salary, som'--
! times as high as fifteen hundred dol
lars a week, with a form of entertaln
i ment in vaudeville entirelv his ow n
It was known as "Great Men. Past
and Present.” ami In it he displayed
his wonderful powers as a. character ac
tor.
Lee was the man who at one time
starred in the play Cyrano de Ber
gerac." made famous by the late Rich
ard Mansfield.
The critics throughout the country
were loud in their praise of Lee's art,
and in cities where both Mansfield and
Lee appeared at opposition play houses
in the same play Lee never suffered by
comparison.
I had often seen Lee In vaudeville
and admired him greatly. I had also
seen him when he created the role of
Simonodes In that spectacular produc
tion of "Ben-Hur"
1 lost track of him. and found out
later that he was making a tour of
the w orld collecting material for a form
of entertainment original with himself.
I met him upon his return from abroad
one night in a gambling house up
town.
Immediately 1 entered the room 1 j
recognized Henry Lee. He was a man l
who would have been singled out in any
company. He stood more than six feet
high and was built in 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 ft each time he
played When he lost all, credit was
freely extended to him Written or
ders were accepted from him on the
box office of the theater where his
next engagement was to be played.
He always honored these "I. O. U's "
The passion of gambling had such 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 we met,
and I. too. began playing.
Lee was constantly losing and I was
winning. He left the table on three
occasions and had earnest whispered
conversations with the manager of ihe
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.
AA hen the last SIOO was given Lee and
ho lost it he again went to the mana
ger 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 I took
the money and wont 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.
came rushing over and was sur
prised to see me there
I said "Mr. Lee. my name is Jack
Rose I have been too often in the pre
dicament you are in now I know who
you are, and if you will permit me I
would like to extend you whatever
financial assistance 1 can. so far as my
nitons w ill permit.
Lost S3OO, Borrowed S7OO Mo’-e.
His thanks knew no limits He just
kept thanking and thanking me I gave
him the three hundred dollars I had.
and w. both went back to the table to
play.
He didn't last verv long Soon 1
passed him over some more money , and
continued doing «n until he owed me
I li.ooo
Then the dealer announced the list
deal, and the g.,me was closed for the
night.
Lee and I went out together, and be.
I fore parting he said
| "Say. Rose, you are a decent sort of
I I chap. I would like very much f you

from wanting to give you my I. O. U.
for the money you so kindly loaned me
1 want to have a talk with you on a
matter of business "
1 agreed, and the following evening
I met him at his hotel. One of the first
things I told him was how unfortunate
It was that a man like him gambled
as much as he did.
I 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 ever
listened to —of the ruin and misery
gambling had brought to him.
He had owned theaters in tite cities
of Sydney ami 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.
From South Africa Lee went to Lon
don. and for almost a year appeared In
one music hall at an enormous salary.
Lee was the rage in London, and the
same esult, gambling. lo«t him not
only his money, but his friends and his
standing in the theatrical profession
1 listened, held spellbound by a tale
that I knew from my own experience
was only too true. H« then said':
Asks Rose to Be His Manager.
"Rose, after what you have told and
shown me about what a fool I am to
continue to gamble I am toady to swear
off if you too will swear off and throw
your lot with me and act as my man
ager in exploiting a form of amusement
I have originated.
"We will both grow immensely
wealthy, and the world is our terri
tory."
1 asked him w hat the propositi m
was He told me to come and see him
1 the following day and he would then
have a prospectus all eompleb for mv
• reading I left him overjoy ed at my
' good fortune, as I knew from my short
experience In matters theatrical that
1 the name Henry Lee without anything
1 else had a large commercial value.
I went home, told mv devoted w ife
that her prayers that I give up the
t gambling business had been answer,
! that something as if from Heaven had
come in the form of Henry Lee.
She. like me. knew of Lee b.v reputa
tion, and was overjoyed.
f The following day 1 met Leo ant! he

pings from all the daily papers in Chi
cago where he had already given his
performance. 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
ti'on viewt, 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 lime he left the stage and i
appeared made up as the character ,h
some world-renowned personage h<
had just showed on the canvas.
For instance, he would take his au
dience on a triii tn Shakespeare's home
and last resting place. Then Lee
would apiwar made up as Shakespear<
reciting Shakespeare's "Seven Agi-s."
Then he took his audience to the
aces at Ascot on Derby day when
King Edward's horse won the Derby
Lee would appear as King Edward.
When his audience was visiting thi
Vatican at Rome and the late Pope Leo
was shown on the screen Lee appeared
as the pope.
At Mount A'ernon he appeared as
George Washington. He impersonated
former President Roosevelt, General
G ant. General Lee. Dickens. Tennyson.
Emperor AA Milam and 5P others, an I '
with it all gave a lecture that was not
only interesting, but educational.
Held Spellbound by Lee's Eloquence.
I was held spellbound by the man s
eloquence and enthusiasm It was be
yond anything I ever hoped and
dreamed of ’ I said:
"You are willing to make me vou
partner in this modern Eldorado?"
"Ye-." he said. "1 think there i
enough there to make a dozen men
rich "
. "After all," he said, "I don't cm
about wealth; I only want it to d'-
something 1 have had in mind for
years" Later I realized how true it
was. The man eared nothing about
money
There are many who often con-‘
riemned Henry Loe. but they net ■ !
knew the man. He never meant to ’
harm any one.
When he got through I said. "Who ei
is this production?" He said: "Ahli
