LOST COLONY HAS
HAD MANY CHANGES
MADE IN STAGING
Script Also Different In Spots;
Basic Idea Remains Same;
Fast-Moylng. Fascinating
By AYCOCK BROWN

They say more changes have
been made in "The Lost Colony
this summer than were ever before
done. More alterations of staging
and script have happened in the
last month than in the previous
twenty years.
Every night, standing in the en-
trance-ways listening to the aud
fence comment as they leave fol-
lowing a performance, we hear
"It's ,new show, isn't it." and
"It's different from the time saw
it before"
The few people we have an OPP
portunity to talk to after a per-
formance ask about the changes
generally; having seen the "Col-
ony" before, they "feel' the chang
es more than spotting them exact
ly. 1t is kind of compliment, of
course, when people who have seen
the show many times have not no.
ticed major alterations, because
that indicates there is a smooth
ness in the performance.
What changes have been made :?
They fall into two categories:
changes in the script itself and
changes in staging.
What caused these changes Z?
Briefly put, the idea behind the
new staging is to present more
continuous, swift-moving story.
"The Lost Colony" was the first of
the outdoor dramas and showed the
way for this new form of Ameri-
can entertainment, and now "The
Lost Colony" is leading again in
making an emphasis on a tightly
woven dramatic plot rather than
on pageantry or spectacle.
Exciting spectacle and impress
sive pageantry are a natural part
of show on huge outdoor stage,
and always will be. But the ques-
ton arises now if we're to provide
spectacle or story, however, there's

WANcHEsE BOYS WIN
1910 SATURDAY OVER
ELIZABETH CITY TEAM

The Wanchese Little Leaguers
stretched their seasons record to
six wins as against five losses in
last Saturdays game, defeating
the Elizabeth City Rotary team
1910 at Wanchese.
Each team seemed to have no
trouble scoring in the first four
innings of the six-inning affair.
In the first inning, Elizabeth City
chalked up runs by Capps and
Kane on singles by Capps, Joe
Seymour, and Pritchard, while
Wanchese scored runs by Taddy
Tillett, Billy Walker, and Gary
John, with John getting two
base hit. Elizabeth City added 1
run, by R. Seymour, in the second,
then. Wanchese had men to get
runs, George Daniels, Tillett, R.
S. Meekins, Charlie Greet, and
Ricky Scarborough, as Tillett and
Greet each got a single. Each
team scored runs and 3 hits in
the third inning; Elizabeth City's
runs were by Kane, J. Seymour,
and Pritchard, with j. Seymour
and Pritchard each getting a
double and Kane getting a single,
while Wanchese's runs were by
David Daniels, George Daniels,
and Tillett, with David Daniels,
Tillett and Meekins each getting
a single. In the fourth, Elizabeth
City tied it up by scoring runs
by Caps, Kane, j. Seymour, and
Setter, as Setter got a double and
Kane and ]. Seymour each got
singles. In the bottom of the
fourth however, Wanchese scored
runs by Tyndale Daniels, Wayne
johnson, and George Daniels
johnson getting double and Til
lett a single) to complete the
scoring. The remaining hits were
a single by Elizabeth City's Capps
in the top of the fifth, a single
by Wanchese's Greet in the bot
tom of the fifth, and a single by
Elizabeth City's Marco in the top
of the sixth.
Gary John pitched the entire
game for Wanchese, giving up
walks during the 6 innings, while
j. Seymour, Caps and Kane
shared the Elizabeth City pitch
ing duties, together walking 9
men.
Wanchese is scheduled to play
Manteo at Wanchese this Friday
afternoon beginning at 4:30 pm.

percent"
"Total visitors for January
through July last year was 1885,
430, as compared with 194,331 for
the same period this year," said
the Memorial Superintendent.
While visitors at Fort Raleigh
showed an increase of 1898 per-
cent during July over June, there
has been a considerable drop for
comparative years and for COM
parative months in 1857. A total of
only 3O,615 persons visited Fort
Raleigh in July this year, a de-
crease of 35.7 percent from July
1866. The calendar year figures for
Fort Raleigh, 56,249, is a 22.2 per-
cent decrease as compared to the
same period in 1856.

no doubt: the dramatic story comes

no doubt: the dramatic story comes
first.
(This is the trend among the out
door dramas. Those of us who have
studied them know that Paul Green
and Kermit Hunter, the best-known
authors, have increasingly in recent
years favored a strong story-line
over the pageantry which received
a very strong ephasis before.)
The most noticeable change in
this production has been in the
script revision as it affects the mar
ration. "The Lost Colony" had al
ways had an Historian, who re-
manned to one side of the action
and linked scenes with introduc-
tons. The narration is now being
given by the actor playing a lead
er of the Colony, Governor White,
who participates in the story.
The principal change in the stag
ing has been to continue scenes on
the stage while the narration is
being given and at several points
the actors illustrate what the mar
rator is telling the audience and
since this narrator is personally
involved in the story (his daughter
is Eleanor Dare), he shows the
audience that he is tragically NOV
ed by the story he is telling.
Smaller revisions may not be
noticed by the audience, but in one
phase of the show these small
changes add up to an important
thing. The Indians are given a
stronger emphasis, by their greater
participation in two scenes and by
the plan of the famous dance to
the Corn God" at the opening.
The plan of the opening dance
has been to characterize the In
dams for what they were: simple,
primitive people with naive beliefs.
This dance is probably the most
authentic Indian dance ever staged
in a dramatic performance. It is
authentic" not because it has
been copied from actual Indian
dances; there are so few records
of what such dances were like
among the Indians of Eastern
America that this wouldn't have
been possible, even if desirable.
The dance is authentic because it
shows the barbaric religion and
nature of the Indians. 1t shows a
whole tribe covering superstitious-
ly before its medicine man, who or
ders them about with angry COM
mands in ancient Indian language.
The medicine man calls on them to
please the wooden idol by offering
it gifts and dancing before it. When
they dance they initiate the ac-
tons of animals, birds, and fish,
often making appropriate sounds.
Another kind of change that audi
fences returning to the play may
not notice is more use of movement
by the actors, in expressing emo
tional and dramatic moments. The
purpose behind that, of course, is
to achieve as much naturalness
and directness as possible.
Perhaps the intent behind the
changes has been served. The most
frequently heard remark from
audiences has been: cts a fast
moving, fascinating drama" We've
heard that comment dozens and
dozens of times in the first two
weeks.
