Results are reported from contemporaneous KPNO optical spectroscopy, IUE UV spectroscopy, and KPNO R photometry of the DH Leo triple system in spring 1987. The data are presented in tables, graphs, and spectral phase images and discussed in detail. The H-alpha, H-beta, H-gamma, H-delta, and Ca II H and IRT lines are found to have excess emission, and the phase modulation in H-alpha, H-beta, and Ca II is well correlated with the photometric modulation. This result is attributed to the combination of (1) a small amount of global chromospheric emission and (2) emission from plagelike regions associated with cool starspots. The (H-alpha)/(H-beta) ratio is found to be significantly lower than that in longer-period RS CVn systems.
