The Lost World - Silent Movie Event - Sat. Evening

Presented by New Community Credit Union Classics of the silent era with live orchestra in the Spanish ambience of the Roxy Theatre Bill Rowson conductor Before Jurassic Park, there was The Lost World. Based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1912 novella, the story only made it to screen due to the special effects genius of Willis O’Brien, whose model dinosaurs were so convincing. The dinosaurs are the stars, but the human cast is led by Wallace Beery as blustery Professor Challenger, who leads an expedition to a lost mesa where dinosaurs still rule and returns to London with a brontosaurus. Havoc ensues.
