Trouble Among the Managers of Dewey Theater: Playhouse May Be Closed 11 as Result of Trouble Between Thespians There is trouble at the Dewey the popular playhouse, which, under the management of Landers and later, that of Erwin Blunkall, has for six years been the only place of amusement' In Oakland which has given continuous performances the year around.

Unless the managers can settle their differences; the house will probably be The trouble is between Blunkall and Ed Chapman, the business manager, who owns a one-half interest In the theatre, and It has reached such a stage that last night there came almost being a personal encounter between the men. Five months ago Landers-Stevens went to San Francisco to play- an engagement at the Central Theatre and he left his interests in the business in the hands of Blunkall. What happened after that is told In the popular actor-manager's own words. 'For five months," said Blunkall to day, "I have selected every play that has been seen at the Dewey and It was through my efforts that we secured 'The which made such a tremend ous hit with the playgoers last week. You see, and Chapman each owned a one-half Interest In the house and when Stevens went to Ban Francisco I was left to handle the stage and Chapman was to take charge of the business end of the concern.

"Well, I knew 'The Conquerors' would be a fine drawing card, so I drew my own money out of the bpk to pay the royal ties on tne piece. Ana, mind you, I was not Interested in the house further than as an employe, and as Stevens' representative. I engaged the players for 'The Conquerors," also, and it was absolutely understood that the piee was to Vun two weeks. The first time I knew that the bill had been changed was last Fri day, when I met Chapman just as he was riding his horse away from the theatre entrance. He told me to rehearse for 'The Mouth of the Canon.

The week be fore we had rehearsed every night while we were playing 'The Defaulter in order to put on 'The The actors did that because I asked them to. When Chapman said 'The Conquerors' would not be played the second week I objected. had that right because I hold Stevens' power of attorney. I offered to meet ev ery expense to pay the royalties of 200, to pay the salaries of the actors, to do nate my services and those of my wife, Lillian Atwood, and my brother. I ab solutely guaranteed The salary of every body In cast.

-I was determined to play 'The Conquerors' or close the theater and those were Stevens' orders. But Chapman said he had spent a lot of money on the house and I allowed him to ruh it temporarily. "Last night, Chapman and I were standing on Fourteenth and Washington streets, discussing our troubles and Police Captain Petersen came along. We de cided to leave the matter to "him. He de elded in my favor at first, but later he decided against me because of the money Chapman had advanced and I agreed to abide by his decision.

The conference was held In Petersen's office at the City Prison. When Petersen said I was in the wrong, I tore up the power of attorney and threw it in the cuspidor. Then I went back to the Dewey and I found eight or ten policemen there to keep me from en tering. I tried to go through the private entrance, but It was nailed up and Chap- roan called to me from the inside that if I broke down the door he would have me arrested Then I went back to the HEW METHOD OR EXTRACTING- OIL LOOKOUT POST lANS BERKELEY DAY FOR G.
