Mr. Hubert. Did you tell him you were broke or did he find out from another source?
Mr. Senator. No; I told him I was down.
Mr. Hubert. Did you ask to go in with him?
Mr. Senator. No; I’ll tell you why. I don’t think I did. At that time Jack was changing over and he had some pretty rough times. He had changed over from this Sovereign Club. Now how rough he had it there I don’t know because I wasn’t intimate with him at that time, that intimate. And he went into this burlesque business.
Mr. Hubert. That is the Carousel you mean?
Mr. Senator. The Carousel and he was bucking somebody who had never been bucked before. That is the Weinstein brothers who owned the Theatre Lounge and the Colony Club and who have had the monopoly of that type nature of business for many, many years. Now, for him to buck them he has really got something to buck.
Mr. Hubert. So he was having difficulties and you were too?
Mr. Senator. Yes; originally I was sleeping at the club and so was he.
Mr. Hubert. You mean he didn’t have an apartment at all?
Mr. Senator. He didn’t have an apartment at that time.
