2005 Dinner and a Movie at the Autry National Center:
Whirlwind
Our fourth and final Dinner and a Movie night at the Autry National Center was a fun family event with delicious food, a special museum tour-talk, and the first ever screening of the digitally restored Gene Autry feature film Whirlwind in the museum’s Wells Fargo Theater.
Folks enjoying their BBQ in the shade.

We had live music, supplied by a Gene Autry fan.
Folks gather for the special Museum Gallery Tour.
As you can see, it was very popular!
Our gallery destination has an exciting name.
And exciting artifacts such as this beautiful stagecoach.
Our tour guide, Autry Museum docent Jim Fryman, was very informative and shared so much with us.
The kids had excellent questions and were very interested in just who rode where on a stagecoach.
The grownups had some good questions, too.
Also discussed were the communication tools of the Old West...
...such as the telegraph...
...like Gene uses in the movie Whirlwind.
Our wonderful docent, Jim Fryman.
