The great train robbery the cinema begins
In the first film genuine drama began to take shape in this ancestor of all cowboy and villain pictures. Much of the action is freely photographed, cut and assembled in a truly cinematic fashion which was original at the time the picture was made. The second film includes excerpts of films by the Lumière brothers, Edison, Armat, Jenkins, Latham, Dickson, Friese-Greene, and Le Prince. This program recreates the experience of the first audiences ever to watch motion pictures on a screen. The third film includes a variety of adventures with Billy Whiskers (a goat) as the hero.
