NEW THEATRE FOR.
LOST COLONY NOW
BEING CONSTRUCTED
Building For Permananee Assured
by $4,000 Contribution BY
Park Service

Construction is now underway
under the direction of Albert @.
Bell, on a new theatre for the Lost
Colony. The project to cost about
$75, 900 is being provided by the
National Park Service in recogni-
ton of the valuable contribution Of
the famous Paul Green outdoor
drama, to the Cape Hatteras Nat
ional Seashore and the economy of
the region in General.
The original theatre, built back
in 1885 had deteriorated and was
generally outdated. 1t has been
damaged by fire some years ago,
and Hurricane Donna a year ago,
had all but wiped it out. Restora-
ton of part of the property was
made possible prior to last sea-
sons show, by grant of $4,000
by the National Park Service, and
without which it is estimated the
Lost Colony might not have been
presented this summer.
Mrs. O. Max Gardner of Shelby,
chairman of the Roanoke Island
Historical Commission which spon-
sors the Lost Colony, has expressed
tremendous gratitude and satisfact-
ion with this generous response
from the National Park Service,
which has given liberal support to
the show through the years. Mrs.
Gardner is inclined to view this
lsplendid windfall as something in
lspired more largely than by any
support of local citizens that has
been given the Lost Colony during
the past two seasons.
| Recently when she presented
Congressman Herbert Bonner, one
of the shows most loyal supporters,
Ito a Lost Colony audience, Mrs.
Gardner dwelled at some length
ON her observations concerning,
the cooperation she had received
from. local people, and of sincere
lgratitude for this spirit which had
done so much to Tighten the task
she undertook two years ago when
a group of workers Joined hands in
Ian attempt to put new life into this
valuable project. All these circum-
stances have proved fortunate ones
flor Dare County and the people Of
Roanoke Island in particular, who
have come to learn that the Lost
Colony is the community's most
valuable asset.
| Robert F. Gibbs, supt. of the
lCape Hatteras National Seashore
seems to be taking much pleasure
in getting the new theatre perfect
in getting the new theatre project
underway. Mr.. Gibbs said the old
torn down by a crew of workers
under the direction of Mr.. Bell who
supervised the building of the orig
! inal theatre. Mr.. Bell says the seat
ling capacity will be reduced from
about 5000 to 1,750 when the the
latre is complete.
