"THE LOST COLONY" ANNOUNCES THIRD SUMMER SEASON Manteo, N. C. ? The third sum mer season of Pulitzer Prize Win ner Paul Green's "The Lost i Colony" will begin a twelve-week season at the huge Waterside Theatre here July 1, according to an announcement made today by j D. Bradford Fearing, President of the Koanoke Island Historical As- i sociation, which is sponsoring the' historical drama. Produced originally as part of the 350th anniversary celebration i of the founding of the first Eng lish colonies in the New World and the birth of Virginia Dare ? the first English child born on Ameri can soil ? "The Lost Colony" is be ing repeated by popular demand from both sides of the Atlantic. More than 175,000 persons saw. it during its past two seasons. The cast of 150 performers will include most of the original play ers. Of this number the majority of the actors are native islanders and fishermen who have never seen a play in their lives. These people hope someday to even play the lead roles, making "The Lost Colony" a sort of patriotic Ober ammergau at the cradle of Ameri can civilization. It is presented on the very site of the original Lost Colony. - The entire production is a non profit venture sponsored by vari ous state historical societies and groups devoted to popularizing the history and lore of North Carolina. Paul Green wrote the play sped- ( fically for Roanoke Island and j production elsewhere is forbidden. Although it is his biggest hit, J Green receives no royalties from the drama. His other successes are "Johnny Johnson," "The House of 1 Connelly," and "In Abraham's ] Bosom," for which he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1927. Among the many thousand to j see the initial production were | President Roosevelt and Brooks] Atkinson, drama critic for the New York Times. In a nation-wide radio broadcast direct from Roan- i eke Island, the President praised the heroic efforts of the first colonists. Mr. Atkinson wrote in the Times: "Paul Green has writ ten history which turns his char acters into unconscious symbols of a brave new world. . . " Director Samuel Selrien,' who was awarded a Guggenheim Fel lowship last year to do a book* on basic art principles in scenic dei sign, will return from Europe May 1. to again take over directorial duties. Howard Bailey, the pro duction manager, will leave his post as head of the dramatics de partment at Rollins College, Win ter Park^la.. to resume his Lost Colony activities tttp'following month. Music for the drama will again be supplied by a full chorus fuom the Westminister ClYs^r School, of Princeton, N. J., Based on 16th century English ballads, carols and songs collected by Paul Green, the score wa3 arranged by Lamar Strlngfield, noted American com poser and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for music. In "The Lost Colony." Paul Green tells the dramatic story of 121 men. women and children sent over in 1587 by' Sir Walter Ral eigh to colonize the American wilderness. Following the birth of Virginia Dare, the colony disap peared from the Carolina coast and left only a single trace of its existence ? the word "Croatan" carved on a tree. The mystery of what happened to these heroic pioneers has haunted historians here and abroad for many years. Across Roanoke Sound from the palisaded Waterside Theatre is the Wright Memorial, marking the first sustained flight in aviation history. Other sites of interest in this area are an entire 16th cen tury village line through-hewn Juniper log tradition of the period; Hatteras. the Graveyard of the At lantic; Nag's Head, where Black beard flew the skull and cross bones; and Rodanthe, the Old Chrlstman village.

It should be kept in mind that there is a world of difference be tween government "supervision" of banking and government "con trol or "management" of bank ins. x Government supervision is pro per and necessary. Gov?rameht "control" of banking, on the other hand, would amount to govern ment control over .practically all j of the financial resources of America. Every hank account would be more or less the play thing of politics. Immense financi al-power could be used for political | ends and purposes. Our American private banking I system has worked. It has built j our industries and homes, and has ! done much to help give us the j highest working and living staiid- ' ards in the world. It has been j largely responsible for our world-' supremacy in every fi'ld of com mercial endeavor. To weak. ;i ' banking as a private enterprise is an invitation to disaster. That would place the saving? of the American people nvjiv and more under the not-so-tender- mercies of politician!, few of whom would be employed by a private citizen to invest his savings or manage his business. And general business can , come under this same influence, with a like condition. I.ouisburg Girl ? My c';s r is hard to drive. Boy Friend ? I can drive it with one hand behind my back.
