report has reached here that Charles

doned.
Played in Richmond
Gilpin and the company in which
he is star were playing in Richmond,
Va, when a warning was received
that his appearance would not be toll
Grated further below the Mason Dixon
line. In Richmond the show was
greeted by packed houses and the
audience seemed to overlook the fact
that Gilpin was not white man.
While in Virginia a letter was re-
ceived by Gilpin with Ku Klux Klan
signature. 1t advised him not OF con-
tinue his contemplated tour of the
South as long as he played in a COM
pany of white players. The route of
the show was then changed by Adolph
Klauber, under whose management
Gilpin is playing, and the troupe is
to tour Ohio.
