Friday Night Film Series

The Friends of the Thomaston Library present:

The Good Earth
Friday, March 4th
6:30 PM
Room 208, Thomaston Academy Building

Luise Rainer took home her second consecutive Best Actress Oscar for her heartfelt portrayal of O-Lan, the long-suffering spouse of Chinese dirt farmer Wang Lung (Paul Muni) in this film based on Pearl S. Buck's epic tome. The lyrical tale chronicles the couple's changing fortunes as they survive famine and revolution, only to be tested again by avarice, lust, and Mother Nature. Karl Freunk picked up an Academy Award for his cinematography.


Admission is free but donations are gratefully accepted. The Thomaston Academy building is handicapped accessable from the parking lot entrance. Doors and Hallway Bookstore will be open at 6:00 PM, with all proceeds going to support the Thomaston Public Library. For more information, call the library at 354-2453.
