Friday Night Film Series

The Friends of the Thomaston Library present:



The General
Friday, November 19th
6:30 PM
Thomaston Academy Building, room 208

Rejected by the Confederate Army as unfit and taken for a coward by his beloved Annabelle (Marion Mack), Johnnie Gray (Buster Keaton) sets out to single-handedly win the war with his cherished locomotive in this classic silent action-comedy. When Northern spies steal his train, the intrepid Confederate takes on the entire Union army to get it back. Keaton's extremely physical performance features a series of acrobatic stunts. Of special interest is the amazing fact that Keaton himself performed the dangerous and hair-raising stunts numerous times on real moving trains.

Friday Night Films are open to the public and free of charge, but donations are gratefully accepted. The Thomaston Academy Building is handicapped accessable from the rear entrance and light refreshments will be served. For more information call the library at 354-2453.
