Karl C. Lybrand launched his long and colorful career in the entertainment business in Wills Point in 1907, as manager of the Wednesday Book Club Opera House. In 1926, the theater building was built to show the silent movies that were all the rage. Probably the most memorable thing during the silent picture days, was the orchestra that won fame in our area for providing musical accompaniment to the films. The orchestra included Karl Lybrand on trumpet, and Ms. Eva Lybrand on the piano. The orchestra played until talking pictures took over the screen in 1933. The first talking picture shown here was " The girl from Woolworths" starring Alice White.
Karl C. Lybrand III carries on the tradition of his father and grandfather, operating the Majestic Theater today. It is the longest Continously operated movie house in Texas.
