APPEALS FOR LOST
EQUIPMENT TO BE
RETURNED IF FOUND
Many Of Properties Were Lost
During Hurricane Donna
Last September

Almost ready for the July 1
opening of it's twenty-first season,
THE Lost Colony" is still missing
several pieces of stage property
lost in Hurricane Donna last Sep
TENDER, technical director William
Long reports.
"About three-fourths Of the
props and a third of all the scenery
were lost in the hurricane" Long
says. eve have finally replaced
most of this although quite few
guns, baskets and other such pro-
perties are still needed"
Costumes received the least dam
age from the hurricane. Colony
costuner Irene Rains, a native of
Wanchese, says that none Of the
costumes were damaged, although
the sewing shop itself was COM
pletely destroyed. The costumes
were stored in a nearby building.
II guess I've been living right"
Mrs. Rains laughs.
The costumes also escaped dam
age in the fire of 1947, which al
most completely destroyed the
theatre. Scenery was hard hit in
the fire, with only the cradle, beds
and few chairs remaining.
"The cradle, which we've had
since the opening in 1887, was lost
this time," Long reports.
Long says that some of the pro-
perties have been found and re-
turned.
Robert Midget brought in a
gun just last week." he said. sit
would be a big help if people who
have found anything that might be-
long to the colony" would bring
it by the theatre"
He noted that the picture of the
Virgin Mary, which was painted by
William Meade Prince for the stage
chapel, was found in the sand
around Christmas. and that part
of the Queens throne platform
was found washed ashore near
the cottage of Lillian Prince, a
former Queen Elizabeth in the
drama.
"Bits of scenery and props are
still being found, and they pro-
badly will continue to be for quite
some time," Long said.
People who have found any seem
cry or properties may bring it by
the Waterside Theatre or the Lost
Colony Business Office in the Com
munity Building.

MANTEO BOY SEES
PLACES OF INTEREST
WHILE IN U. S. NAVY

Richard Bell, son of Mrs. Edna
Evans Bell, of Manteo, writes with
vivid interest of his recent travels
in the Navy. He is on the U. S. S.
Fort Mandan in his third year of
service and training as mechani-
cal engineer. Of his stay in Athens,
Greece, he says that on the second
day there the Royal Yacht of Eng
land came in with the Duke and
Duchess of Kent. Queen Elizabeth
had fingered in Italy. "The yacht
anchored about 300 yards from us,
and she is really beautiful and well
kept" he stated. Shore patrol duty
in down town Athens had been
fun and with the statement he
sent a postcard view of the square
where he stood patrol. In it there
were fountains with water spraying
high. The buildings were typical of
European capital. To reach Athens
the ship had anchored off Pyraeus
the port of Athens, eight miles
from the heart of the city. For six
cents they went by subway to the
center of the City. While there he
had taken tour of the city and to
some of it's ancient ruins. The
guide for the tour was girl who
had just graduated as an archeolo-
gist from the University of Athens.
"She was wonderful and spoke per-
feet English" the letter states.
Among the places visited was the
famous Parthenon. They walked on
places where Plato and Aristotle
walked, and climbed steps used 500
years before Christ. The ship left
Athens with keen regret on the
part of the crew. The next stop was
in small port, Marmaris, Turkey,
which lacked the interest of Ath-
ems. Then there was to be Corfu,
an island resort off the mainland
of Greece, near Albania.
To quote: "The food has been
excellent. We have twenty cooks
and mess cooks. The cooks in
charge are just like the cook in
the comic strip, Beetle Baily, both
in looks and actions. We have mid
night meals when on duty"
