Over 200 in Company.
AS staged by Sam Selden, head of

sheer spectacle. A company of 200

strong spotlights which effectually
black-out all but the playing scenes.
A narrator, mounted in a cupola on
the side, keeps the action moving
in the brief interludes, and the West

vide most impressive background.
With the new shifting facilities, the
lights will play upon the waters of

scheduled to be droppedJ
ABOARD USS APPALACHIAN
BIKINI ATOLL (Via Navy Radio)-
This reporter does not intend to
delve into the scientific aspects of
this atomic bomb test, leaving that
to the scientific writer's and the sci
entists themselves. This test is pri-
marily military experiment to de-
termine how the United States navy
and other armed services can figu-
ratively keep its powder dry" in
the face of any future atomic war
fare.
The experiments however by their
very nature and the various tests
which are to be made of atomic en-
ergy will produce by-products Of
knowledge in the fields of biochem-
istry, biology and medicine.
Further knowledge will be gained
also in the fields of radio, photogra-
ply, geology, fish life and all the
sciences which apply to ocean life.
Many Conjectures.
A tour of this ship and visit to
the staterooms where the newspa-
per men are housed conjectures on
the outcome of this bomb test meas
ured only by the number of news
paper men aboard This is almost
true of the scientific writer's them
selves, for most all have different
viewpoints on the possible develop
mentS.
These conjectures run the gamut
of total destruction by tidal wave or
earthquake of the entire task force
in the vicinity of the bomb down to
the theory that the bomb might even
prove dud forecasts of the destruc-
ton of the atomic bombs dropped
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki made
by the scientists connected with
Uncle Sans military establish
ments were fairly accurate and this
reporter is willing to discard the
more fantastic conjectures and
string along with some of these
more conservative forecasts.
Earthquake or Tidal Wave?
In the first place Bikini lagoon,
where the bomb will be dropped, is
roughly Is miles long and 10 miles
wide and the water averages 100
feet in depth and one scientist lik-
ened the dropping of the bomb into
such an expanse of water and air to
spark from a welder's torch
dropped into 30-acre lake. Scien-
lists admit that the bomb may
cause slight earthquake and tidal
wave but that in comparison with
natures earthquakes it will have no
destructive violence and will only be
recorded upon seismographic in

sion, of final tragedy in a new land.
1t starts with the historical landing
Of the colonists and their establish
ment Of a new homeplace in cabins
around the chapel in which they give
thanks to Providence for a new life.
1t proceeds with the little things
which go into the making of homes,
and a nation, and to the birth of
Virginia Dare, first new life in
new world.
Finale is Tragic.
Mysteriously, the brother of Chief
Wanchese is killed; the Indians be-
come hostile, and the tragic finale of
the Lost Colony" plays itself out
in mystery. But the dramatist's cpl
logue, rampant with stirring lines
and inspiring music, leaves no doubt
that the colony was really the begin
ming of a new nation, of America.
Paul Green wrote Lost Colony"
as his contribution to the culture
OF his home state. He presented it
IN toto, to the people of the Virginia
Dare country, and received no roy
atty from its production, nor has he
allowed rights to any dramatic or
cinema companies. The entire per-
torrance was broadcast by the
Columbia Broadcasting company in
1889, and the author has prepared
book on the text which is on gen.
eral sale.
FDR Saw 1t.
First presentations were spon-
sored and managed by the Roanoke
island historical society, local
group organized to take care of the
multitudinous details of the actual
staging. In five years, almost a half
million spectators, mong them
President and Mrs. Roosevelt and
Lord Halifax, brought an estimated
S3,O00,000 in total revenue to
the Island of Roanoke and the Dare
country. AS it begins its new, per
petual' series of seasons, the books
of the organizations are evenly bal
anced.
The new association, headed by
former Gov. J. Melville Broughton
and operating under especially en-
acted laws of the North Carolina
state assembly, present the opus
through d five-man committee, all
of whom reside in Manteo, near Fort
Raleigh, scene of the production,
during the season. Melvin R. Dan
iels is chairman of the committee,
which is composed of l. p. Davis,
secretary, c. S. Meekins, treasurer,

The new lure, which is not yet

has been tried and found not want
ing in actual fishing practice, is ex-
pected to be placed on the market
before long and with the price of

as it is hoped that they will, that
the new lures will be in the nature
of a real boon to mankind

flrSt SHOWN IN 1881, this symptom
ic drama became nationally famous
and was seen by more than 100000
people before the war forced its sus-
pension in 1941.
The story of Sir Walter Raleigh's
attempt to plant an English colony
in the New World is presented in
large amphitheater on the site of the
original settlement itself. Perform
ances will be given each week,
Wednesday through Sunday, during
July and August.
The audiences of the new perform
anceS will see the first colonists
row, in small boats, right up to their
feet at the very spot the landing
was made in 1885. The new plans
fulfill the original staging ideas of
Playwright Paul Green, who wrote
the opus in 1886 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 produc-
ton of the play is now North Caro-
lima state agency by special act of
the legislature, and Lost Colony"
will be played forever on this wind
swept island.
Lost Colony" re-enacts one of the
most poignant tragedies in Ameri-
can history, but leaves unanswered
a mystery which has fascinated his
torians for over three centuries. It
is the mystery of "CROATAN," the
word found carved on a tree in Fort
Raleigh by relief expedition in
1891, only legacy of the men and
women who had dared the wilds of
America. 1t was the only clue to the
disappearance of Raleigh's colo
nists 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 COM
polling that it grew from a one
season commemorative drama into
an institution. And it was Green who
set the piece to music and dance,
music of the old Elizabethans and
the wild dances of American Indians
with background of organ and
choir, in a combination which was

the Pacific. Bikini aton holds the
81 ships of the suicide fleet"
struments. The release of atomic
energy at the given point of the
bomb burst will in the opinion of
these scientists release heat and en-
ergy at that spot of nature never
before experienced upon the surface
confined to relatively very small
area. One scientist declared that
the radio activity released from the
bomb, if absorbed by living tissues,
would result in chemical changes in
the proteins of the tissues, in some
cases of sufficient intensity to kill
the tissues and in other cases like
ly to produce a new kind of living
tissue or new variety of organ. 1t
is a well-known fact that X-rays
have created this phenomenon in
living tissues and the radioactive
rays from the bomb are practically
the same as X-rays. Thus a man
who comes in contact with these
radioactive particles may well be-
come sterile and be chemically
changed as to other characteristics.
On the other hand, some scientists
predict a tremendous tidal wave as
result of dislodging huge landslide
along the slope of Bikini atoll which
rises some $4,000 feet from the floor
of the ocean. Another predicts the
bomb will crack open the ocean
floor and let the water into the
molten matter beneath the floor re-
sulting in tremendous volcanic ex-
plosion. These predictions, howev-
er, are generally discounted.
Are Sworn to Secrecy.
This reporter anticipates plenty of
action and plenty to write about
when this bomb is dropped by the
Bog over the target array of naval
ships. The most dramatic will be
the second test when a bomb is
detonated below the surface of the
water in the midst of what is left
of the target ships. The handicap
under which the lay members Of
the press work is, however, that we
will not know nor will we be told
whether or not these bombs explod-
ed at full efficiency or whether or
not in fact they were buds.

NEW ORLEANS. - Frank W.
Manning of this city has used his
imagination to the point of genius
in designing an artificial bait or lure

shrimp are hollow and in addition
to their outward similarity will carry
with them the perfume and flavor of
real shrimp by having their perfor-
