(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 "ill call ai my hotel tomorrow.

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.

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.
