CHARLES LAUGHTON, one of the great movie actors, visited Roa
noke Island Sunday night to see the Lost Colony, and having sampled
it, pronounced it good. In the above picture by Aycock Brown, he
is shown talking with some of the prominent persons of the Lost
Colony. Reading from Jest to right: Director Sam Seldon, Charles
Laughton, Albert Bell, who, like Laughton, was born in England, and
not so far apart. Last is Manager Bill Hardy. Everybody seems to be
having a good time.
FHA TO LEARN
HOW LOST COLONY LIVED
Teen-age girls from all parts of
North Carolina will gather on Roa-
THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C.
noke Island Friday, August 17, to
I get a dramatic idea of how the
I first English colonists to reach the
. New World lived and made homes
’ 1364 years ago. It will mark the
| first annual Lost Colony Future
Homemakers Day, and heading
what promises to be the largest
youth gathering to ever attend a
special performance of the drama
will be Miss Catherine T. Dennis,
State Leader of the FHA.
I No set day for the program has
i 1 been announced. As Lost Colony
officials have put it, “The general
I idea behind the special day for the
| FHA groups is for the Future
| Homemakers to see through the
( drajnatic scenes of Lost Colony, the
problems which faced homemakers
| of the late 16th Century when they
made attempts to establish a new
j’nation in the wilderness of Roa
' noke Island.”
Many of the FHA groups, some
as far away as Swannanoa in
Western Caroline have made ar
rangements to stop overnight at
the 4-H Club Encampment on Roa
noke Island. One of the larger
groups will be headed by school of
ficials of Robersonville, N. C.,
bringing more than 50 club mem
bers from that area of the State.
Many group* from any other sec
tions of the State have also indi
cated they would be present for the
Special Lost Colony Future Home
makers Day.
