the near-capacity audience soon
forgot the threat of rain.
Except during the years when
"The Lost Colony" was BACKED out
for three seasons the Roanoke Is
land drama has held its own as one
of the foremost attractions OF the
North Carolina coast. Fire, hurri-
cane, tragedy and comedy have all
played part in the IL seasons
during which it has been presented.
The road to Fort Raleigh, which
Paul Green remembers as a sandy
trail when he first became inter-
ested in the dramatic possibilities
of the Lost Colony story, has in re-
cent years been one Of the most
heavily travelled highways in the
eastern part Of the United States.
New homes and business places all
along the way have sprung up and
ancient Roanoke Island has taken
a new look, largely as a result of
the perennial success Of "The Lost
Colony"
