President Louis Manoz Marin
of the Puerto ican Senate is push
ing for the adoption hv western
nations of a Western Hemisphere
tlag to be flown with national
flags of North and South America.
Since no performance of "The
Lost Colony" will be given on this
night, playing as it does nightly ex
cept Mondays and Tuesdays, the
directors made arrangements with
D. Bradford Fearing, president of
the Roanoke Island Historical As
sociation, to prepare a special
program of song, skits, and dances.
It promises to be one of the most
unusual events in this section.
A special program by the Lost
Colony Choir, under the direction
of Theos Cronk, musical director
of the drama, is being prepared
from the repertoire which the cel
ebrated group is now rehearsing
for its 1941-1942 transcontinental
tour as the Westminster Choir.
Noted soloists of the group will
sing a group of favorites along
with spirituals and classics.
The program will also include
specialty acts by Donald Somers,
most popular of all Old Toms, who
will introduce his marionette cre
ation Elmer Puddle to the aud
ience. Proceeds will be turned
over to Bundles for Britain as the
contribution of "The Lost Colony"
to the valiant struggle being wag
ed today for democratic civiliza
tion, according to President Fearing.
Schools
La Prensa, Argentina newspa
per, says 270 clandestine schools
are being operated in the Argen
tine by the Germans as one of the
principal means of carrying out
infiltration into that country.
