Description
The General is Buster Keaton's classic 1926 silent comedy. According to Rotten Tomatoes:
One of the most revered comedies of the silent era, this film finds hapless Southern railroad engineer Johnny Gray (Buster Keaton) facing off against Union soldiers during the American Civil War. When Johnny's fiancée, Annabelle Lee (Marion Mack), is accidentally taken away while on a train stolen by Northern forces, Gray pursues the soldiers, using various modes of transportation in comic action scenes that highlight Keaton's boundless wit and dexterity.
The Center Theatre is proud to present the film as it was meant to be seen with live piano accompaniment by the incomparable Doug Protsik. General admission $10, Theater Members $8.
