One of the venues, The Kempner Theatre in Little Rock, was involved in a syndicate war that peaked during the company's first performance, a matinée, on October 20, 1910.
October 20, 1910, the Al H. Wilson company, managed by Sidney R. Ellis and under contract to Klaw & Erlanger, arrived in Little Rock with the intention of playing at the Kempner Theatre rather than at the Capital Theater. The Kempner Theater, built and owned by Isaac "Ike" Kempner (1871–1931), had its grand opening a month earlier – September 20, 1910.
This attempt by Al appear to appear at the independent Kempner brought the theatrical was in Little Rock out into the open. The Capital Amusement Company (chartered in Little Rock, June 15, 1910), as lessee of the Capital Theatre and holders of the Syndicate's contracts, immediately moved Pulaski County chancery court to secure an injunction against Oppenheim and Weis, the lessees of the Kempner Theater. The injunction was issued the grounds of "the old contract with the Capital Theater for the production in that house." According to the Capital Amusement Company, there was a breach of contract by the management of Al H. Wilson Company, because said management entered into with the Capital Theater on March 11, 1910, which specified that Wilson's company would appear at the Capital Theater on October 20. The Capital Amusement Company exhibited a contract signed by themselves and Sidney R. Ellis, acting as manager for Al H. Wilson. The injunction requested that Wilson's company be restrained from appearing at the Kempner for either a matinée or night performance. Ellis Martineau concurred, and issued the injunction at 2:36 pm. The matinee performance by Wilson at the Kempner had already begun at the regular time, 2:30, and was in progress the injunction was served. But with the consent of John Frank Head (1869–1949) – a manager and founding secretary of the of Capital Amusement Company – the matinée performance was allowed to proceed. The Kempner's manager then announced that there would be no night performance by the Wilson company. Although the Capital Amusement Company had requested a further order binding the company to maintain its contract to play at the Capital Theater, this order was not issued. The Capital management did offer the Capital Theater to Wilson for his evening performance, but Wilson declined, stating that his company would not put on any show in Little Rock that evening.[13][14]
  • Albert Weis (1841–1918) was, at the time,
  1. Founding treasurer and a founding director in the National Theater Owners' Association, founded May 1910, foes of the Theatrical Syndicate.
  2. Weis was also a partner of Klaw & Erlanger.
  3. Weis was also, in 1909, head of the American Theatrical Exchange (created in opposition of the Theatrical Syndicate).
  4. Weis also owned a theater chain in the Southwest and Texas.

  1. ^ Struck Oil was based on a one-act play called The Dead, or Five Years Away by an itinerant Irish miner and amateur playwright named Samuel W. Smith, which told the story of about John Stofel, a Dutch shoemaker, and had a plot somewhat similar to Rip Van Winkle. The American actor J.C. Williamson (1845-1913) came across this text and bought it outright for $100. He then had it rewritten by his friend Clay Meridith Greene, who retitled it Struck Oil. Though Williamson claimed that he had re-written the last act himself, it is usually credited to Greene.(Sydney Morning Herald)
  2. ^ Albaugh's Grand Opera House, on the second floor of a 4-story building erected in 1884, was a 2,000-seat opera house – billed as "only a trifle smaller than the Metropolitan Opera House in New York." The building was designed by Gray & Page, Washington, D.C. (William Bruce Gray; 1849–1906; and Harvey Lindsley Page; 1859–1934), for the Washington Light Infantry – commanded by Lt. Col. William G. Moore (né William George Moore; 1829–1898) – who occupied its armory and drill hall on the ground floor. The building was located on the northeast corner of Fifteenth and E Streets, Northwest, with the entrance on Pennsylvania Avenue, just a few blocks from the White House. The Washington Light Infantry Corps, in 1887, became a part of the District of Columbia National Guard, and henceforth known as its First Battalion, First Regiment.
