Friday Night Film Series

The Friends of the Thomaston Public Library present:

San Francisco
Friday, May 7th
6:30 PM

Romantic drama combines humor and starpower with the lavish spectacle of the 1906 earthquake. This Academy Award-winning extravaganza remains "one of the greatest action sequences in the history of the cinema, rivalling the chariot race in both Ben-Hurs". Clark Gable plays rakish Barbary Coast kingpin Blackie Norton. Jeanette MacDonald portrays a singer torn by her love for Blackie and her need to succeed in opera. Earning the first of nine career Oscar nominations, Spencer Tracy is a priest who supplements spiritual advice with a mean right hook.

Doors and bookstore open at 6:00. Light refreshments will be served and donations are gratefully accepted. The Thomaston Academy Building is handicapped accessible by the parking lot entrance. For more information, contact the library at 354-2453.
