Historic Roanoke Island Has Opened Summer Theater Season Rjs-sia- s of the First shown in Carolinas. 1937, this symphon-- . drama became nationally famous and was seen by more than 400,000 people before the war forced its susic pension in 1941. The story of Sir Walter Raleighs attempt to plant an English colony in the New World is presented in a large amphitheater on the site of the original settlement itself. Performances will be given each week, Wednesday through Sunday, during July and August. The audiences of the new performances will see the first colonists row, in small boats, right up to their feet at the very spot the landing was made in 1585. The new plans fulfill the original staging ideas of Playright Paul Green, who wrote the opus in 1936 to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the first English attempts to settle America. Will Play Forever. At first only an extension of the anniversary celebration, the production of the play is now a North Carolina state agency by special act of the legislature, and Lost Colony will be played forever on this windswept island. Lost Colony one of the most poignant tragedies in American history, but leaves unanswered a mystery which has fascinated historians for over three centuries It is the mystery of CROATAN, the word found carved on a tree in Fort Raleigh by a relief expedition in 1391, only legacy of the men and women who had dared the wilds of America. It was the only clue to the disappearance of Raleigh's colonists and little Virginia Dare, first child of English parentage to be born in the New World Hundreds of stories based upon possible 'solutions to the mystery have been written and legends about it still abound in the region of the Dare country, but Paul Green wrote the drama which was so compelling that it grew from a sion, of final tragedy in a new land. It starts with the historical landing of the colonists and their establishment of a new homeplace in cabins around the chapel in which they give thanks to Providence for a new life. described by Dr. Herbert Graf, It proceeds with the little things which into the making of homes, stage director of the New York Met- and a go and to the birth of nation, as the basic ropolitan Opera house, first new life in a Dare, Virginia art form foi the new American op- new world. era.
