MANY PEOP[EHE
SEE LOST ST. COLONY
Declared Better This Year;
Called 'Oberammergau'
of America

Large numbers of Henderson peo--
pie have made the long trip to Man.
teo this summer, as many did last
year, to see the presentation of Paul
, Green's 1.-The Lost Colony" in the
waterside theatre in the old Fort Ra-
leigh enclosure. The first one has yet
to be heard of who came back with
out being thrilled and pleased with
the performance.
Most people have found something
rather inspiring in the spectacle, and
have agreed with the thought of who
ever it was that coined the expression
that "The Lost Colony" is America
"Oberammergau." The setting con-
spires to translate the visitor back
$50 years to the time when Sir Wal
ter Raleigh's Enghshmen came to the
New World and attempted to colonize
the coast country of North Carolina
It is impressive of the sacrifices made
by the early settlers and the courage
that drove them forward despite their
hardships.
One business man who saw the per-
Torrance in the summer of 1887, and
who would like to see it again, he
said, remarked that he would never
again complain of his lot, whether
good or bad after seeing depicted the
hardships and privations the colon
lists underwent on Roanoke Island
three and half centuries ago, in or
der to establish civilization on this
continent.
It is a long, hard journey of some
240 miles from Henderson to Manteo,
and much desolatea country is traver-
sed on the way, but the consensus
has been that the pageant at Fort Ra-
leigh is well worth it. Then there is
the Wright Memorial atop that noun
famous sand dune near Mays Head,
where the Wright brothers expert
mented until they achieved the inven
ton that gave the world it's flying
machine and resulted in mans con-
quest of the air. Many now living can
remember the meagre first reports of
the sustained flight of the Wrights'
old power driven "crate" that demon
strated to the world that it was pos
sible for man to fly. That is now
thirty-five years ago, come this De-
cember II, and it is a far cry from
the old box-like machine OrvillC
Wright flew that blustery winter day
for a total of twoc or three minutes
in the air to the modern hotels of the
skies that cross the $500 miles of the
Atlantic in less than day. Media
ton on these things on the spot
where the first flight was made is
like. inspiration akin to the Manteo
miracle portrayal.l

late himself back to the cradle, OF

American civilization and at the same
time view the spot where aviation
had it's birth.
Paul Green never wrought more in
spiringly than when he created "The
Lost Colony" on historical fact, with
his own fertile imagination given
free rein in filling in the details.
One can appreciate these two mar
vels of the coast country only by
visiting the spots and seeing them
personally. It is worth the fatiguing.
monotonous journey, as long as it is.
1t is worth the price of the gasoline
consumed, and many times worth the
price of admission to ''The Lost
Colony" to drink deeply of the atmos-
phere of these sacred shrines It

ments of his ancestors, and makes

these sacrifices were made that it
might be given birth and grow and
prosper and become great-the great

en- or blacken the pages of history.
Many have been to Manteo from
mere to see the pageant, and none who
nave been have any regrets for their
eXperlence-none returns with any but
the most cherished memories and in
splratlon of what they have seen.
