Theatrical managers In Louisiana are having high jinks owing to the racial feeling exhibited in the galleries during performances, and have cancelled all bookings of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and similar plays owing to the attraction they afford to the colored population. They have even gone so far as to pass a resolution asking the State Legislature to pass an act forbidding negroes admission ad-mission to all first-class theaters. In other words, they propose to blackball all ladies and gentlemen of color owing to the absurd caste line which is still a predominating influence of "befoah th' war" residents of the territory lying south of the Mason and Dixon line. |
