Kay KyserWill Meet With
Dare Citizens To Discuss
Future Of The Lost Colony
By AYCOCK BROWN
MANTEO, N. C.
Rocky Mount born Kay Kyser
wl» has gone farther in the en-
tainment world than any other
North Carolina native will meet
here on Monday evening, Aug.
15, with citizens of Dare County
and purpose of the meeting will
to discuss the future of Paul
Green’s wymphonic drama The
I^iost Colony which this year is
celebrating its 13th anniversary
since the premiere in 1937.
The noted band, leader and
radio star who is spending the
summer with his family and
mother on Nags Head has a de
vout interest in the Paul Green
epic which is becoming the
world’s outstanding drama
through the years has also had
tough sledding financially. Mr.
Kyser has ideas which will as
sure, he believes a brighter and
more stable future for the pro
duction. He will exchange his
ideas with the ideas of leading
citizens of this area including
members of the Roanoke Island
Historical Association, sponsor
of the show and heads of the
three chambers of commerce in
the county which include Guy
Lennon, Dare County Chamber
of Commerce; Warren Jennette,
Nags Head Chamber of Com
merce and Walter Perry, head
of the former- Dare Beaches
Chamber which is now designat
ed as the Nags Head, Kill Devil
Hills and Kitty Hawk Chamber
of Commerce.
Plans for the meeting on
Monday evening, August 15th,
Nvermadetjiij# »ek when Cham-
bcr of Commerce officials, coun
ty and association executives
met with Kyser.
Kyser has made it clear that
the .succes,sful future of The Lost
Colony is definitely not aw one
man job and that it will take
the cooperation of the county-at-
large to make the show' a fi
nancial success. As a result it
was decided at the informal
meeting between the famous
band leader and offieials this
week that the logical procedure
to follow would be a mass meet
ing and that is what will be held
on Monday night, August 15 at
8 o’clock in the Dare County
Courthouse. Kyser will appear
at the meeting in the role of
master of ceremonies.
