Well, you know one of the gamest old
gamblers you ever heard of is Den
man Thompson, the actor. He's born
gambler, and he's at it when his pockets
lined same as when it isn't. Den and a
friend whom we'll call Jack lost Il lot
of money in Chicago few years ago
and for two days they were broke. II
was hard scratching for place to sleep
and, as for eating. well, they didn't
manage to get any more than enough
to keep alive on.
''One night they went to Buck BIS
gambling house to see if Den could
land a friend who'd stake him. They
hadn't had bite to eat all day and were
pretty hungry. Buck keeps a cafe on
the ground floor of his place, and the
first thing that struck Den and Jack
when they went in was the odor of nice.
