(Special to the Leader.) 
Richmond, Ky., Jan. 27 - The Men's Club of First Baptist Church entertained at the residence of Rev. J.W. Broaddus. The attention was unusually large, more than 50 being present. 
Quite a number of visitors were present. Rev. Coleman, pastor of the A.M.E. Church, Rev. Braxton, pastor of the M.E. Church, Messrs Vulcan Irving and B. Chenault were among the visitors present. 
Rev. Broaddus and his wife gladdened the heart of both members and visitors with a very hearty reception and bountiful repast which was served in courses. 
Some really great talks were made by Rev. Coleman, Rev. Braxton and Mr. Hade Estes and many others. After the bountiful repast showed sad inroad for the guest after they had thoroughly pleased their appetite they very agreeably surprised the pastor, Rev. J.W. Broaddus with a beautiful hand bag and several other small tokens. This being his 31st Anniversary. Rev. Broaddus was so much surprised that he was unable to find adequate words to respond to the splendid presentation speech made by Dr. David Miller, the genial President of the Men's Club whose oration in [illegible[ the token of appreciation of the club was full of wit and humor and heart-felt good wishes of the club that many happy returns of this day would be allowed their beloved pastor. 
On behalf of the club Mr. Emmet Embry delivered the address. This we cannot describe or put in words the beautiful talk made by Embry but all who are acquainted with Embry know that he was on the job with both feet.

Speeches were made by Mr. H.E. Hall, President of the Mammoth and Mr. I. Willis Cole of the Leader, each speaker spoke on "Cooperation," in which the remarkable progress of the Company from its beginning and what it took to carry it on to a greater success was touched upon.

They made an oasis out of a desert and paved the way for their kith and kin, and just how well the job has been done could be easily seen from the class of men and women who make up the force and were present at this 5th Annual banquet, on Thursday night. [Beautiful?] solo selections were rendered by Mrs. Anna Weaver, Mrs. Louise Dawson, Miss Lucille Lightfoot, and Mrs. Meyers.

Philadelphia minister pays tribute to Chas. Gilpin 
"Dramatic criticism is not my forte, nor do I pose as even a modest art critic, yet I beg leave to call most serious attention to a most remarkable presentation of tragic drama being offered at [this?] time in our city, in which a Negro actor, Charles S. Gilpin, is the leading figure. As a matter of fact, although he is the only Negro who has achieved such distinction in tragedy, and accurate delineation of the racial character, his greatness does not consist in the merely special [talent?] of racial ability, but much more [of?] the commending universal genius in dramatic art which must be seen and heard to be appreciated. Mr. Gilpin is the star of a group of players known as the Provincetown Players, now engaged for a brief run at the Shubert Theatre, having [successfully?] presented in New York [illegible] solid year the extraordinary [illegible] the gifted Eugene O'Neill [illegible] Jones".

Gilpin at Shuberts; banquetted at Hotel Simmons 
Every available seat, the left half of the first and second balconies provided by the Shubert Theatre management was taken by Colored people, Thursday night, the first appearance of the noted Negro artist, Charles Gilpin, who is filling a three night's engagement ending to-night, in the role that has made him famous, and voted, one of the ten actors who made the most significant contribution to the theatrical season, in "The Emperor Jones." In his Thursday night's performance Gilpin lived up to his reputation as an artist of the first rank, and it is the majority opinion that his role did not altogether permit him to to show all he had as the foremost tragedian on the American stage. The race is expected to turn out in still larger numbers to see this gifted performer at this afternoon's matinee and tonight. Splendid arrangements are provided for Colored people by the management. More than one hundred citizens, men representing business, professional and every department of activity in our community gathered at the Hotel Roscoe Simmons Thursday night after the performance, to do honor to Mr. Gilpin, who in his own way made himself known to all in the cordial and affable way characteristic of him. Without any long drawn out speech making a delightful repast was served by the Hotel management under the direction of E.L. Landrum and with the inspiration of the excellent music, all began to eat and talk, with Mr. Gilpin at the head, playing the leading role until wee hours.
