=kLAW ANIDERLANGERTO-
BUILD PLAYHOUSE HERE.
Joseph Brooks Representing Alleged Theatrical Trust,
in Richmond to Look Over Fied-Says City
Needs Another Theatre.

Things theatrical in the capital city
of Virginia are in a turmoil. There
is decidedly something doing"
About three weeks ago william A.
Brady, head of the Independent The
atrical Producers Association OF
America, was in Richmond with the
announcement that IL he could not
have the open door" at the Acad-
envy Of Music. - would establish
another playhouse mere and offer
stout opposition to the trust"
Thursday morning Joseph Brooks,
manager Of Kiaw 4 Erlanger. arrived
at the Jefferson Hotel from New
York.
Il can say positively" said MT.
Brooks, that my firm will establish
a new theatre In Richmond. Whe-
ther we will buy or lease one of the
present houses il a matter Of con-
lecture. I am inclined to believe that
we will build, for Richmond is sadly
In need of a modern theatre. Should
We buy or lease. we would have to
make extensive improvements. There
are to-day many productions which
cannot come to this town because
there Is not a stage here large enough
10 accommodate them"
Academy on the List.
The producers who do their book
ing through klaw < ErlanEer have
revolted against the circuit man
ayers" About two weeks ago let
ter was sent to circuit managers who
we're 'unfriendly'' towards the syn
dicate severing all relations. Jake
Wells, manager of the Leath Theatri-
cal circuit. was included among the
"unfriendly legion Thus, there VIII
be no kiaw e. Erlanger shows at the
Academy the coming season.
The independents will enter the
now open door Of this playhouse.
klaw & Erlanger offerings will be
witnessed at the playhouse which
they intend TO establish here.
Mr. Brooks, In explaining the stu
alton. said:
The producing managers are sick
and tired of the attitude OF circuit
managers throughout the country,
The latter have assumed a dtctato-
rial manner and wish TO tell US what
we shall do. The producers, headed
by David Belascc. have fevolted
against the controllers OF the circuit,
and We have now decided TO estab-
lish our own houses and have them
operated by a resident manager.
Under Our Direction
This state OF affairs does not only
exist in Richmond but throughout the
country For the past few months
we have been securing theatres IN
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1910-06-09

many Southern cities. A new play
houss in Memphis has just been taken
over by us. We will establish our
own house and operate them as We
see At.
Needs Another Theatre.
Richmond 10 a big town. 1t needs
another theatre and we are going to
put It UP. We are also going to Nor
folk, Charleston and other principal
cities. We are doing with the cir
cult managers
Mr.. Brooks here explained that vir-
tualIy all circuit managers are not
practical theatrical men. but entered
the business from other walks of life.
He attributes their unfamiliarity with
the SHOW game" to lack OF train
ing and therefore says that they do
not know what they are doing"
Being the gateway OF the South this
theatrical war is being waged with
Richmond as a basis of operations.
The squabble Ia going 10 benefit this
city by reason Of the fact that play
goers win have the privileges OF wit
Messing the best shows on the road.
The Shubert attractions will hold the
boards at the Academy of Music, and
Klaw and Granger will do the booking
for their theatre.
Mfr Brooks declared that expects to
be able TO make some definite an
ncuncement before Saturday. Il am
auaatlHz the arrival of several parties
with whom I will have conference.
after which Will make known some
Developments"
Just who ne expects to confer with
Mr.. Brooks would not say How long
he will be in Richmond he does not
know.
Owners Have Trust.
THE greatest theatrical trust III
America to-day" declared Klaw and
changers manager, In the National
Theatre Owners Association. ] wish
to say that the klaw and Erlanger
Company is not a trust. The firm
simply does the booking for the fore
most producers in the country. The
producing managers may have formed
an alliance"
Mr.. Brooks further said that trouble
with circuit managers Is by no means
confined to the United States and Can
ada England, he said, Is having the
same trouble.
The public is looking upon this
theatrical warfare with interest.
though they really do not care rap
how 1t turns out, as long as they get
the shows.
Some argue for and some against
the advent of a new theatre here. II
is explained that many OF the large
are barred from Richmond
because no house here can stage the
elaborate settings

of blood: and Yet the evidence shows
that there was very little blood where
the body was found and hardly any
upon his clothes. This Ia attempted
to be accounted for by the statement
of Smith that they wrapped a cloth
around him and used cotton batting
but this does not satisfy. And then
there was snow on the ground, which
did not fall after o'clock on Satur-
day night, the 9Th instant. and that
this snow had not been disturbed
when the body was seen on Sunday
by Mr.. Robert l. Carne, of the wash
ington Times. The whole theory OF
tie case and the attempt TO prove
where the accused were at the al
legged nme of murder proceeded upon
the idea that the murder took place
on Saturday night the 9Th instant,
between and O'Clock; and this
was Smiths testimony. To these
facts must be added the statement OF
a conductor on the Southern railway
that he saw the body lying In the
snow at o'clock Saturday afternoon.
and of lady on the electric car, who
testified to the same fact. II is true
that some boys hunting on the ground
Saturday say they did not see the
on cross examination. but In view OF
the facts. and leaving out the testi.
mony of Smith. Ii is difficult to reach
the conclusion that the murder took
place on Saturday night and at the
place where the body was found and
where Smith said IL occurred
Case Still Mystery.
But without going further into
the evidence, it is admitted by all
connected with the case, as / under
stand the facts, that without the tes-
timony OF Smith there could have
been no conviction. And yet Smith
has since the conviction of Dorsey,
Johnson and Pines declared that his
testimony against them was false and
that they were innocent of the crime
of which they we're convicted. and he
went to the chair protesting their in
nocence and his own.
1t 10 believed by every one con-
nected with the case that Smith was
guilty of the murder. but he was a
confessed perjurer, ana the Judge in
Sentencing him declared that he was
a per5urer. and no human being can
tell whether he told the truth first or
last. and this Is the condition which
confronts my conscience and involves
tue lives vi tHTrG men. II Hi these
facts had been before the juries try
ing the cases. l would have less DIM
Guilty in reaching a conclusion, but
they we're not, and after the most
careful thought, am in such frame
of mind that. while 1 do not think
the prisoners entitled to pardon,
do not thing 1t just to them. who are
poor negroes, or to the Common
wealth which only desires to punish
those certainly guilty. to permit them
to be electrocuted, and thus put cor
rection of any mistake which may
have been made out Of the power of
the State II the mystery which now
the Hlurder of Schultz shall
ever be cleared up.
''noldsng these views and desiring
10 give as much force and effect to
the verdicts OF the juries and the de-
cisions OF the court as may be con-
sistent with them, In execution OF the
power conferred on me by the Con-
rtitution OF the State to grant pardon
and communication after conviction,
