JACK ROSE TELLS HOW A FAMOUS
ACTOR AND HE LOST THEIR ALL
By JACK ROSE.

will be vigorously prosecuted.)
NEW YORK. Aug 14.—My next, at
tempt to break away from the gambling
business and my gambling associates
was made shortly after my reconcilia
tion with Rosenthal, through a chance
acquaintance made In a gambling
house. The man was the late Henry
I i.ee one of America’s most prominent
actors
Lee was a remarkable man. of com
manding appearance, and a scholar, and
his one passion was gambling
He never drank or had any other bad
habit, but was an Inveterate gambler.
He earned a tremendous salary, some
times as high as fifteen hundred dol
lars a week, with a form of entertain
ment in vaudeville entirely his own
It was known as "Great Men, Past
and Present,’’ and In It he displayed
his wonderful powers a.s a character ac
tor.
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 Tree’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 bad often seen Ixe in vaudeville
and admired him greatly. I had also
seen him when he created the role of
Sltnonodes 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 world collecting material for a fofm
of entertainment original with himself.
I met him upon his return from abroad
one night in a gambling house up
town. •
Immediately I entered the room I
recognized Henry Lee He was a man
w ho 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 ns 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 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 bls favorite game. I
sat beside him I lie first night we met.
and I, too, began playing.
Lee was constantly losing and I was
j winning. He left 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 Leo and
issue an order to the dealer to let Mr.
Leo have another SIOO worth of credit.
When the last SIOO was given Lee and
he 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.
Tx-e came rushing; over and was: sur
prised to see me ‘here.
I said: "Mr. Lee, my name is .Tack
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 I
would like to extend you whatever
financial assistance I can, so far as my
means will permit.
Lost S3OO. Borrowed S7OO Moro.
His thanks knew no limits He just
kept thanking and thanking me. 1 gave
him the three hundred dollars I had.
and we both went back to the table to
play.
He didn't last very long. Soon I
passed him over some more money, and
continued doing so until he owed me
SI,OOO.
Then the dealer announced the last
deal, and the game was closed for the
night.
I.ee and I went out together, and be
fore parting he said:
Say. Rose, you are a decent sort of
1 chap. I would like very much if you
will call at my hotel tomorrow. Aside

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.”
I agreed, and. the following evening
I met him at his hotel. One of the first
things 1 told him was how unfortunate
it was that a man like him gambled
ns 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 storj’ I ever
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
tn 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 result, gambling, lost him not
only his money, but his friends and his
standing in the theatrical profession
I listened, held spellbound by a tale
that I knew from my own experience
was only too true. He 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 1 am ready 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."
I asked him what . the proposition
was He told me to come and see him
the following day and he would then
have a prospectus all complete for my
reading. I left him overjoyed at my
good fortune, as I knew from my short
experience in matters theatrical that
the name Henry Lee w ith ".it anything
else had a large commercial value.
I went home, told my devoted wife
that her prayers that I give up the
gambling’ business had been answered;
that something as if from Heaven had
come in the form of Henry Lee.
She, like me. knew of Lee by reputa
tion. and was overjoyed.
The following day 1 met Lee and he
was all prepared with the prospectus.
He also showed me newspaper clip-

■ V,. •i are b< Ing
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
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 re
appeared made up as the character of
some world-renowned personage hi
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 Lr»
would appear made up as Shakespeare
reciting Shakespeare's "Seven Ages."
Then he took his audience to the
'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 the
Vatican at Rome and the late Pope Leo
was shown on the screen Lee appealed
as the pope.
At Mount Vernon he appeared as
George Washington. He impersonated
former President Roosevelt, Genera!
Grant. General Lee. Dickens. Tennyson.
Emperor William and 50 others, ami
with it ail 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 your
partner in this modern Eldorado?"
“Yes," he said, “I think there is
enough there to make a dozen men
rich."
After all, he said, “I don't care
about wealth; 1 only want it to do
something I have had in mind for
years.' Later I realized how true it
was The man cared nothing about
money.
There are many who often con
demned Henry Lee. but they neve>-
knew the man. He never meant to
harm any one.
■When he got through I said; "Wheie
is this production"" He said; "Ah:
that is where I need your assistance.
The entire plant is now in Chicago,
where it is held by a man as security
on a loan of $1,500 1 received from him
but with interest and bonus for the
loan it now amounts to about $3,000.
This money he lost in Chicago gam
