Majestic Theatre - Pomona<br />
Built in 1921 the theatre was originally known as the<br />
Majestic Hall and catered for all types <strong>of</strong> community<br />
events. The “travelling picture show man” was an<br />
early<br />
visitor, then in 1923 a cinema licence was obtained<br />
and <strong>film</strong>s have been screened regularly ever since.<br />
Then in 1973, Ron and Mandy West came to town,<br />
they bought the theatre the following year. In 1987, the<br />
Wests reverted to screening only silent <strong>film</strong>s, with Ron<br />
accompanying on the organ. The Majestic has gained<br />
recognition as the world’s only authentic silent picture<br />
house still in full operation.<br />
