It is "The Lost Colony," which next Tuesday will begin a 40-per formance season, to the Waterside theatre at IVtrt Raleigh, time miles north of Mantes.

Its revival each year through 19^1 ?when the war interrupted its run ?was made possible by the enthus iastic response the play received each time it was performed. It was re vived last year and witnessed then by more than 52,000 persons. The theatre was partly rebuilt last year, after the storms of four years had wreaked their damage, and the reconstruction has continued this spring. A new light control tower, on the rim of the amphitheatre, has been constructed, and it^ houses a new switchboard to manipulate, the lights. Albert Q. Bell, builder and designer of the theatre, has con structed rain shelters at the right and left of tire entrance gates, with in the theatre stockade, so that spec tators will not have to leave the theatre in the event of a shower.
