LOST COLONY STARTS 10lh YEAR

By HOKE HARRIS '
Manteo.-Nl C. It isn't often
that a play is still going strong
years after it was. first presented
to the public. But North Carolina
has one of. its own which on July
4 will be ten years oldi ,
it is The Lost Colony, which next
Tuesday, July X will begin a 49
performance season in the Water
side Theatre at Fort Raleigh, three
miles north of here, This record is
all the more remarkable for the
fact that when Paul Green's sym
phonic drama opened on July 4,
1947, it was intended as a more or
less local, one-season commemora
tion of the. events which, occurred
at Fort Raleigh the first British
attempts to colonize the New World
and the birth of Virginia Dare, the
first English child born in Ameri
ca. ' .. - :r;-; , :..;.' ' -'
Its revival each year through 19
41 -- when war": interrupted its
run -- was made possible by the
enthusiastic response the play re
ceived each time it was performed.
It was revived last year andwlt
nessed then by more than 52,000
persons, and more thousands will
come this season to-see history re
created in the spoken word, in pan
tomlne, in dance, and song. '
The theatre was partly rebuilt
last year and -the reconstruction
has continued this spring. A new
light control tower has been con
structed, and it houses a new
swithchboard to I manipulate the
lights which play a large part in
the drama's effectiveness. Rain
shelters have been constructed at
the right and left of the entrance
gates, within the theatre stockade,
so that spectators will not have to
leave the theatre in iEe event of a
shower. A-.
Former Governors J. Melville
Broughton and J. C. BvEhringhaus
will make short talks on opening
night There will ; be some new
names in the cast and staff this
season. One of them it that of Elea
nor Dare, the mother of Virginia.
She is Julia Meade, a student in
the Yaie Drama Department and
the daughter of Caroline Meade,
for many years Walter Hampden's
leading lady. One new husband ana
wif team has been added - - Meade
Prince, and Ananias Dare, and
Lillian Prince, as Queen Elizaoetn.
The audiences this summer will
nroiramn Donald Somers bank in the
part of Old Tom, the philosophic
fool, for his fifth season, John A.
Walker; former lighting director,
is general manager for his second
season.
The 40-volce Westminster Choir
from Westminster College, Prince
ton, N. J., has been .here for about
two weeks, to sing the powerful
music which is woven into the
script. - i
The Lost Colony season ends on
September t. Performances are
scheduled five or six nights weekly.
1948 Expected To Be
A Prosperous Year
North Carolina farmers can look
forward to a prosperous yesr in
1948, according to Dr. U. w. ors
ter, head of the Agricultural Eco
nomics department at Stat College
who said the national economy is
in a highly satisfactory condition,
and the immediate future is bright.
This means, he believes, that ag
ricultural conditions, with a few ex
ceptions possible, will also be satis

Dr. Forster says that farm pros
perity depends almost directly on
the condition of the national eco
nomy. Therefore, a close relation
ship exists between the prosperity
of farming in North Carolina and
America's industrial activity.
As Dr. Forster sees It, this in
dustrial activity will remain high
during the nex tseveral years, and
as a consequence, the agricultural
income of this slate will remain
in a favorable position.
