Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome. It
is time now for our community connection. And we've got
one of the best storytellers I know, Joe Sears, is
here from the Dewey Hotel.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
How you doing, Joe, Hey, good morning. I'm enjoying this nice,
cool morning.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Well, we got a few days of that before, you know,
we go back to about the two degrees short of
cremation again.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
We've had a good summer.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
We have for the most part.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, and we didn't have that sizzling horrible heat that
we had last year.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
More water than we normally get, good.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
A lot more water, and I haven't turned on my
sprinkler system at my house.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It's been very nice. Everything nice and green.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
When I returned to this country ten years ago because
I got I left when I was nineteen, Yeah, yeah,
went out and saw the world work and came back
home because of my health. Not ten years ago, it
was being all that really heavy drought. Everything was brown.
I wasn't used to see in my beautiful Oklahoma brown
(01:03):
in the summertime. And the old sage especially with all
their wonderful grass and the blue stem, and to see
it's so green, the way it's supposed to be green,
green country.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
The Old Sage is really I think the prettiest part
of Oklahoma ever. It's just this, and so I like
living here among it, and I'm real happy to have
all that green.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Green is a healing color.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I'm an artist, a painter, and we learn certain things
about color in school and sure, and then there was
a book back in the seventies about color and all
it means. Green is actually a very You can wear
the color of green and it makes you feel better.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
You don't get pitched on Saint Patty's Day.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
No, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I used to say, well, I'm a rage you go ah,
ain't good enough? You better have some green on. Yeah,
but it's it's nice to have green around. It's just
a healthy feeling. And speaking of health, I'm here to
talk about the Sandlot, our movie coming up Saturday.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Oh yes, indeed, we've got the Family Movie returning our.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Family Film Festival. And we started that a couple of
years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Tom.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's funny, we thought we were very clever. Well, come
to find out, museums all across the nation are doing films,
so it's not unique just at the Dewey Hotel. We
were just behind and didn't know about it, but it
sure fits like a glove.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It does.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
And we have a nice big screen that's inflatable. We
just bought one.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It blows up like one of those bouncy things you
can get for birthday parties. It's a big screen and
it's like going to the Bowman twin drive in.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So wait, this is an inflatable screen.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It is an inflatable screen.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So instead of seeing it in Imax, we're watching it
the air Max.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Airmax and it's really really nice and it's nice and clear.
So we had this big, beautiful screen that we put
out on the north side of the house and of
the hotel, and we provide the seed. We have a
concession stand of you know, all we don't have is lollipops.
And I sticked.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
To the bottom of the shoe after a while. Yeah, yeah,
how that goes to Family Films and.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
The old Aral Theater downtown. I grew up with that.
That was built originally in Martlesville as a vaudeville house.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Imagine who was Yea?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
And Ruby Darby performed there and she was quite controversial.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
And she the legend is that Ruby Darby. Uh every
she was.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Very popular vaudeville performer. She was Queen of the oil fields,
a colt her and all of the men and women,
I mean, it was a to do things to go
watch her perform the burlesque. But church growers, churchgoers did
not like Ruby Darby and her bodiness. But anyway, it
was still acceptable until there was a Fourth of July
(04:09):
parade and she rode down the street as an event
as Lady Godiva. Oh and all she had on was
a big wig from Europe, and that was the final straw,
and the church ladies at Bartlesville said you gotta go.
And overnight at the Aero Theater, the men stopped going
and business really dropped after that, and so she had
(04:31):
to leave town.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
But what a legend you know of the Errol Theater.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Now, all that was gone by the time I was born,
but I remember the Beatles appeared there, and that's the
first time I saw people lined up for a movie.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh the Hard Days Nights, Hard Days Night. The Beatles
played bartles But.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, uh yeah, so the Aero Theater locally, But anyway,
back to the our theater, we have a nice Don
Tyler slab between our hotel and the hitching post, and
we call that the slab Theater and we put on
(05:13):
all kinds of activities, but that's where we show our movies.
And in the fall and winter time, we have big
heaters that we can bring out and it's like outdoors
seating at a cafe. We can actually heat the audience
and watch a film. So it's our film series has
come in and we make sure it's always a family
film and we've been very successful with it. We've had
(05:36):
to cancel a few times because of the weather. But
The Sandlot is a classic made nineteen ninety three in
an era in America when, gosh, you know, it was
just a much better time for all of us. You know,
we didn't have the anger politics going on, and the
neighborhoods were full of just growing up. It's it's a
(06:00):
coming of age, a baseball neighborhood movie. You know, a young,
little nerd guy moves into a neighborhood and the neighborhood
kids tak him in. They need a baseball player and
he doesn't know anything about it, so what he experiences,
but it's a it's a movie about good mental health
in young people, and you just you can't talk enough
(06:24):
about good mental health and the importance of good mental
health and young people, adolescents and and and after adolescence.
Those are the things you take into adulthood. And here's
a movie about everybody feeling welcome that the majority, the
majority coming together for a combined effort, you know, to
(06:44):
make something happen. Applause rewards. All of that is is
a uh, it's just very good for the mental health
and young people. So this film really captures all that.
And James Earl Jones is in that. I saw him
on Broadway and I have never seen a performance of
(07:06):
anyone on stage live better than a James Earl Jones.
He can project, yes, his whole body is an actor,
you know. And he was honored by the Cherokee Nation
here in Oklahoma several years ago as their Cherokee of
the Year. He was part Cherokee, and I didn't realize
(07:27):
and Tommy Lee Jones has been honored by the Cherokee
and you just never.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Know who they're going to put an honor on.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
But I was really thrilled to find out that James
Earl Jones is part Cherokee, because I'm a Cherokee descendant myself.
I mean in Oklahoma, you're a descendant probably of one
triver or another.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
At the Dewey Hotel.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
When we give tours, a lot of people are very
surprised that we had slavery in Indian Territory, and they're
even more surprised that the tribe, the Cherokee tribe, brought
most of the slavery to Indian Territory.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
There were rich, very wealthy.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Cherokee that came before and during and after the Trailer
of Tears, and they brought their property the slaves with them,
and that slavery. They were not allowed to intermarry with
the Cherokee. The Cherokee did not teach them how to
read and write. They did everything they could to go
(08:28):
along with the whites to be left alone, and they
still put them on the Trail of Tears. But the Cherokee,
being a very advanced tribe of people, saw nothing wrong
with the slavery issue. So when you got out here
in in Indian Territory, we had lots of runaways. There
was a runaway slave. You could run away from a
(08:50):
rich Indian family and there was no one to turn
you in like in the Old South or a neighbor
accarenting the next state, Indian Territory. Oklahoma had a lot
of runaways and most of them were trying to work
their way to Kansas and freedom, and a lot of
them were trained to be Buffalo soldiers and they were
(09:13):
That's another thing when you go on a tour to
a museum, you find out so many things, but oh,
you do the Blacks were big cowboys in this Texas
and those were states that had slaves who learned how
to be really good cowboys. So there's a great history
of cowboys that from a black culture, and so there
(09:35):
was a lot of that. In the Indian Territory. You
had slaves. You knew how to ride horses and could
outride some of the Confederacy. But they were all working
their way to Kansas, which is our country up in here.
We were white encroachment country up here, and all of
our this was all Cherokee Land, northern Cherokee Land, and
the Confederacy occupied it because they did not want an
(09:59):
invasion of Texas and Arkansas coming from Kansas. And that's
what break brought Jake Bartles down here for the first time.
So all of that's part of the history that you
can learn by just a field trip to the Dewey Hotel.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
My gosh.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, And we don't preach history, but when those questions
come up, people are very surprised to find out about
wealthy Indians that Oklahoma even had slavery. We had one
hundred and seven engagements between the Union and Confederate forces
in Indian Territory. That's a lot of battles when you
(10:34):
look at it for a territory, and we was young.
We became an Indian territory in eighteen thirty four and
it was created to for the placing of tribes out here.
So the hotel is built from Delaware money. Now the
Delaware where originally from the East coast up near New
(10:56):
York City. Yeah, they had become a small tribe. Bartlowsville
is their capital, per se, and it was their money
that helped build the Dewey Hotel. In nineteen hundred, Jake
Bartles had married the daughter of Chief journey Cake, who
(11:17):
was also he was a preacher, a Baptist preacher, and
we'd like to say in tudw Texas. He was a
member of the BBB, the Better Baptist Bureau but Nanny
maintained the avenue of going down a Baptist so she
had the parlor at the hotel was served as an
(11:39):
early day church in Dewey, and she eventually built the
first Baptist church there and it was called the journey
Cake Baptist Church. And recently the church has donated to
the hotel some of the artifacts from phil Nannie. Yeah,
we've been trying for a long time to get our
mittens on some of the those things. But they gave
(12:01):
us a set of four dishes that are commemoritative of
the journey Cake Baptist Church and we have those on
display in our dining room. And so it's besides our
film festival, it's an opportunity to come and learn about
the hotel and business has picked up. We have a
lot more visitors than we used to. But we're trying
(12:23):
to get the Dewey Hotel to be a destination point
like the Tommis Museums for travelers, and the Pioneer Woman
over in Pahosca has certainly made that more popular. A
lot of people were on the route of their pilgrimage
and to go over and have her wonderful food and
it is good, so they look up and google things
(12:49):
to do in the area of Pahusca, and Bartlesville pops up,
and then the cultured people like to visit museums and
they oh, the Dewey Hotel, and so we're off the
beaten path, but they certainly find they do, and so
we get a lot of customers from out of town.
But locally, you know, we're just the icon of history,
(13:12):
that's all. And we're trying to play that up. And
the film Festival is one way of brightening that star,
of creating a focal point for Dewey because that hotel
used to be the focal point for everything.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well, entertainment, everything.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yes, yes, And so anyway, the movie The Sandlot is
going to be shown this Saturday, and we started at
nine o'clock when it's nice.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And dark and coming early.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It gets you a hot dog, yes, but it's a
nice way to enjoy a summer night, it is, and
to particularly for kids. We keep all of our movies
are fairly friendly, but I particularly enjoy The Sandlot. And
it's not just my selections for the film. We have
(14:01):
actually had a little committee that that says, oh what
about this, uh, and and but I'm a big pusher
of preventive mental health in young people, and this is
one of those movies that really shows the good mental
health and kids and the importance of participation. And then
in August, August sixteenth, we're doing back to school movie
(14:24):
a School of Rock.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Oh Jact black Jack, Black You amazing. The board members go, oh,
I really like that movie. It is.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And so that's a good selection that's going to take
place on the sixteenth of August. And then in we've
got some things planned for Labor Day. And then in
Western Heritage. We haven't selected a movie for Labor Day
yet time, but Western Heritage we're going to do Andy
Get Your Gun Good. You know, it just fits like
(14:55):
a glove there. And then we've got you know, a
Memorial Day. I'm not my World Day, Armistice Day. See,
they don't call it Armistice Day. It's in America. It's
a Veteran's Day. Yeah, And so those are we'd like
to do Holidays, Thanksgiving. It's been a very successful series.
But they do they do this in other museums. Tulsa
(15:17):
does it at their museums, but Dewey is unique. I mean,
it's just it's a small audience. We provide the chairs
and some movies we'll have maybe twenty five people. Some
won't have fifty people. But it's it's a lot of fun.
So if you're looking for something to do on a
nice summer night out the sad.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Lot, let's do it. Hey, Earl, Thanks, I mean, let's uh,
let's get this going here.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Joe, Joe, joey. I have that problem with Earl a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I bet you do. I call him Joe.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, just we were at the Kopan restaurant last night.
I enjoyed chicken fried steak. Oh gosh, and that very
thing came up and they did double takes and said, well,
we never see you two boys together.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I saw you together once once. Yeah, it was a
fleeting moment.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
That leading moment.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well, actually, ear Earl Sears and I are very close brothers.
Then we differ in politics, but we don't let that
separate us. We're very dedicated to brothers.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Joe, thanks for being with this, yere Dewey Hotel. What
times are we going to start the old flickorama?

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Know who they're going to put an honor on.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
But I was really thrilled to find out that James

I mean in Oklahoma, you're a descendant probably of one

When we give tours, a lot of people are very

So all of that's part of the history that you

We became an Indian territory in eighteen thirty four and
it was created to for the placing of tribes out here.
So the hotel is built from Delaware money. Now the
Delaware where originally from the East coast up near New

is their capital, per se, and it was their money
that helped build the Dewey Hotel. In nineteen hundred, Jake

the hotel some of the artifacts from phil Nannie. Yeah,
we've been trying for a long time to get our
mittens on some of the those things. But they gave
(12:01):
us a set of four dishes that are commemoritative of
the journey Cake Baptist Church and we have those on
display in our dining room. And so it's besides our
film festival, it's an opportunity to come and learn about
the hotel and business has picked up. We have a
lot more visitors than we used to. But we're trying
(12:23):
to get the Dewey Hotel to be a destination point
like the Tommis Museums for travelers, and the Pioneer Woman
over in Pahosca has certainly made that more popular. A
lot of people were on the route of their pilgrimage
and to go over and have her wonderful food and
it is good, so they look up and google things
(12:49):
to do in the area of Pahusca, and Bartlesville pops up,
and then the cultured people like to visit museums and
they oh, the Dewey Hotel, and so we're off the
beaten path, but they certainly find they do, and so
we get a lot of customers from out of town.
But locally, you know, we're just the icon of history,
(13:12):
that's all. And we're trying to play that up. And
the film Festival is one way of brightening that star,
of creating a focal point for Dewey because that hotel
used to be the focal point for everything.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well, entertainment, everything.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yes, yes, And so anyway, the movie The Sandlot is
going to be shown this Saturday, and we started at
nine o'clock when it's nice.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And dark and coming early.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It gets you a hot dog, yes, but it's a
nice way to enjoy a summer night, it is, and
to particularly for kids. We keep all of our movies
are fairly friendly, but I particularly enjoy The Sandlot. And
it's not just my selections for the film. We have
(14:01):
actually had a little committee that that says, oh what
about this, uh, and and but I'm a big pusher
of preventive mental health in young people, and this is
one of those movies that really shows the good mental
health and kids and the importance of participation. And then
in August, August sixteenth, we're doing back to school movie
(14:24):
a School of Rock.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Oh Jact black Jack, Black You amazing. The board members go, oh,
I really like that movie. It is.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And so that's a good selection that's going to take
place on the sixteenth of August. And then in we've
got some things planned for Labor Day. And then in
Western Heritage. We haven't selected a movie for Labor Day
yet time, but Western Heritage we're going to do Andy
Get Your Gun Good. You know, it just fits like
(14:55):
a glove there. And then we've got you know, a
Memorial Day. I'm not my World Day, Armistice Day. See,
they don't call it Armistice Day. It's in America. It's
a Veteran's Day. Yeah, And so those are we'd like
to do Holidays, Thanksgiving. It's been a very successful series.
But they do they do this in other museums. Tulsa
(15:17):
does it at their museums, but Dewey is unique. I mean,
it's just it's a small audience. We provide the chairs
and some movies we'll have maybe twenty five people. Some
won't have fifty people. But it's it's a lot of fun.
So if you're looking for something to do on a
nice summer night out the sad.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Lot, let's do it. Hey, Earl, Thanks, I mean, let's uh,
let's get this going here.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Joe, Joe, joey. I have that problem with Earl a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I bet you do. I call him Joe.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, just we were at the Kopan restaurant last night.
I enjoyed chicken fried steak. Oh gosh, and that very
thing came up and they did double takes and said, well,
we never see you two boys together.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I saw you together once once. Yeah, it was a
fleeting moment.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
That leading moment.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well, actually, ear Earl Sears and I are very close brothers.
Then we differ in politics, but we don't let that
separate us. We're very dedicated to brothers.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Joe, thanks for being with this, yere Dewey Hotel. What
times are we going to start the old flickorama?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It starts at nine pm? All right, nice and dark?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
