(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 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.

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- | SHOP TALK The United Credit Clothing Company has opened a new Southern branch in At lanta at 73U Whitehall street.

Aug 14 -The South- ! | erm Bell Telephone und Telegraph. i , t'ompanc is rebuilding its tel-phone ■ 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 bling houses." AUSTRALIAN PREMIER DENOUNCES SENATE FOR STAND ON CANAL MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.
