He continued, however, to go on “lecture tours" packing great crowds into theatres, auditoriums, schog' houses and churches. He raised a small fortune for the drought suf- ferers in 1930 and in his quiet way gave thousands of dollars of his private fortune to charity. His wealth was estimated by his friends at several million dollars and he carried life insurance of approximately $1,000,000. He never talked about his money but he was a high salaried actor for years. His salary was $25,000 a week when he worked.
