Southport, N. C.(
Sept. 2, 1940.
State Port Pilot,
Southport, N. C.
Dear Editor:?
Why doesn't Southport follow
th? suggestion of Mr. H. H.
Thomas as made in the Pilot last
w ?k and have a historical pageant
here in Southport?
t"here is a wealth of material
about our town and county that
could be turned into a pageant
that would rival Paul Green's
"Lost Colony." Too, we have a
lot of talent right here in town
that could take care of the acting,
costuming, scenery and other
phases of production.
Last year for the Class Day
exprcises of the Shallotte high
school, one >of the teachers, Miss
" ' " ^ ~w Uinl/AMf vcrntp
jaa r. vreou,
and produced a pageant: "The
Birth of Brunswick." It was very
effective and was presented on
the order of the "Lost Colony"
at Manteo which many of our
citizens have already seen. This
only goes to prove that we could
have a pageant even if we should
not be fortunate enough to have
Mr. Green come and write it for
us.
Surely it would assist in making
our little town more picturesque
and would bring many visitors
to see it.
It is up to us. Will Southport
have an historical pageant?
Sincerely,
SUSIE E. SELLERS.
