Majestic Theatre - Pomona
Built in 1921 the theatre was originally known as the
Majestic Hall and catered for all types of community
events. The “travelling picture show man” was an
early
visitor, then in 1923 a cinema licence was obtained
and films have been screened regularly ever since.
Then in 1973, Ron and Mandy West came to town,
they bought the theatre the following year. In 1987, the
Wests reverted to screening only silent films, with Ron
accompanying on the organ. The Majestic has gained
recognition as the world’s only authentic silent picture
house still in full operation.
The convention program is being developed and some features will be outlined in the next
FAMM Convention Newsletter in a few weeks.
