Blind Couple Adopt Boy In 'First Case of Its Kind' AP Newsfeatures CANTON, O A blind' couple has been given leal custody of a five-year-old boy hero in what is believed the first rase of its kind in Ohio. The youth, a smiling, normal youngster named Corky, was left with his now legal parents, Mr. and Mrs. George J. Corbett, by his mother when he was 10 weeks old. Three years ago the couple and Corky moved here from Youngs town and Corbett became one of the sightless employes of a manu- facturing company (Timken Hol ler Bearing).

The enthusiasm of the people here has become traditional. It was responsible for the first season, it has enabled the show to run through six seasons, and it will put it over this year. Many of them had never seen a professional play before Paul Green wrote one for them In 1937, but their part in the show and this includes fisher men, coastguardsmen, soda-jerkers, school kids businessmen, teachers has been growing with the years. Which is just as Author Green and Director Selden want it. They envision, in the years ahead, a production in which Roanoke Islanders will take all the leading roles those now played by pro fessionals from New York or the Carolina Playmakers at the Univer sity. To help this along, the direc tor has announced that the actors and stage experts will give instruc tion to .the local people this sum mer in acting, in the techniques of the stage and allied subjects and that the Westminster Choir, which yearly sings the powerful music of the drama, will provide teachers of music. And eventually, it is expected, there will be a drama summer school here as part of the University, and perhaps as well a summer music school con ducted by the Westminster Choir College. Meanwhile, the show will go on. It started in 1937 as a more or less local, one-season production to commemorate the 330th annivers ary of the events which occurred at Fort Raleigh, where the Water side Theater now stands the es tablishment of Sir Walter Raleigh's "Lost Colony" and the birth of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World. But the show was so enthusiastically re ceived that first year that it was played each season through 1941. Over 52,000 persons saw it last year, in its post-war revival.
