"Gavin" was one of three one-act plays comprising the first dramatic program of Professor Koch's Carolina Playmakers. Two performances were given in the Chapel Hill High School auditorium, on March 14 and 15, 1919. Wolfe, who had never acted before, played the title role.

I was so young, so raw, so green.I .wrote that play in one sitting on a rainy October afternoon when seventeen or eighteen, and I knew nothing of theater at that time." However, reluctant to hurt his old teacher's feeling he gave way. In 1933, after literary success, he forbade further productions. Fine copy in a slightly soiled and lightly chipped dj.
