Friday Night Film Series

The Friends of the Thomaston Library Present:

Buster Keaton Double Feature:

Our Hospitality and Sherlock Jr.

Friday, November 5th
6:30 PM

Room 208, Thomaston Academy Building

Our Hospitality - In many ways a companion piece to his 1926 classic "The General", Our Hospitality stars Keaton as a New York man who returns to his southern antebellum homeland to find himself embroiled in a longstanding fued between his family and that of the woman he loves. The sequence in which Buster travels southward by rinky-dink locomotive is a most sublime example of the director's craft that represents but a tiny portion of the extrardinary talent that characterizes the art of Buster Keaton.

Sherlock Jr. - Perhaps no other film offers as exciting a roller coaster ride through the golden age of comedy than Buster Keaton's "Sherlock Jr." Dramatizing the uproarious explots of a meek theatre projectionist turned amateur sleuth, the film blends the knockout physical comedy normally associated with slapstick, with more subtly-crafted moments of humor.

Friday Night Films are presented free of charge but donations are gratefully accepted. Light refreshments will be served and the Academy Building is handicapped accessable by the parking lot entrance. For more information call the library at 354-2453.
