SUMMARY:CELEBRATING NATIONAL SILENT FILM DAY! - THE GENERAL - BUSTER KEATON
  - 1926
DESCRIPTION:Its National Silent Film day on September 29th and the Majestic
  Theatre Pomona will be celebrating early on the 26th September so come an
 d celebrate with us. This day raises awareness of film preservation and vi
 sual story telling. The Silent Era spans roughly from 1889 to 1930 before 
 synchronized soundtracks became standard.\n\nWe've chosen "The General" pu
 rported as "the greatest train movie ever made". "The General" stars Buste
 r Keaton\, Marion Mack and Glen Cavander. Keaton also co-directed it along
  with Clyde Bruckman.\n\nThe General was inspired by the Great Locomotive 
 Chase\, a true story of an event that occurred during the American Civil W
 ar. The story was adapted from the 1889 memoir The Great Locomotive Chase 
 by William Pittenger.\n\nSynopsis - Johnnie loves his train ("The General"
 ) and Annabelle Lee. When the Civil War begins he is turned down for servi
 ce because he's more valuable as an engineer. Annabelle thinks it's becaus
 e he's a coward. Union spies capture The General with Annabelle on board. 
 Johnnie must rescue both his loves.\n\nNo need to book. Get your tickets a
 t the door. Doors and bar open at 11am offering tea\, coffee\, snacks and 
 refreshments. Film screens at 12 noon.\n\nFilm duration 79 minutes
