The Mysterious Islands Premiere in Dallas

The film of the evening

Built in 1937, Lakewood Theater is the only single screen theater left in Dallas with its art deco style.

This event was a Phillips family production.


Part of the Mysterious Island team


For most of the little children present, the beautiful footage of fearless animals was their favorite part. To see the diverse creatures and wild islands that had been regaled to us previously by both my grandmother and Dr. John Morris, was a special treat for our family.

What really fascinated our family was the architecture of this mission from the hinges and doors to the massive walls and arches.

The children took great delight in discovering the acoustics of this old Spanish mission by singing.
