CALLS THE DEWEY NUISANCE
Permit to Run Theatre Obtained by
. Fraud, Says Fox.

William Fox, lessee Of the Dewey The
atre. in East l4th street, filed his answer
yesterday to the suit brought against him
BY the theatrical firm of Sullivan Il
Kraus. of which big Tim Sullivan is
the senior member, for non-payment of
rent under the terms of the lease
Fox said he would not carry ont the
lease, which has about five years 10 run,
because several of the city departments
had made demands for numerous structu-
raj changes. which would cut down the
seating capacity OF the theatre by about
80 per cent. while he would be required 10
pay the same rent.
Fox declared the plaintiffs obtained
their permits TO run the Dewey Theatre
by fraud and acting in collision with
certain officials then in charge and con-
troll Of the municipal departments of the
City of New York" He added that the
continuance Of the theatre had been pos
sible only by reason of this alleged con
nivance and that the Dewey had been
nuisance since its erection.
