It was fantastic. They even had a 20 second shot of Annie Oakley (the real one!!) on. It was made in 1894!!! She could sure shoot! Awesome!

They are going to have another one next Sunday night if anyone wants to see it. They are all different episodes so it doesn't hurt if you missed it last night. :)

Last night they also had three great shorts. The first one was a 40 minute western made in 1912 called The Invaders which was a thriller. The Next one was a toughie called The Country Doctor made in 1912 about 14 minutes long. It was about a country doctor that had a sick daughter but had to leave to help save a poor family's daughter and when she was better he hurried back home alas too late to save his own daughter and the whole area then had a black plague. :(
The last one was The Immigrants and it was great which involved edge of the seat excitement with counterfitters (spelling?). This movie was 50 minutes long. One of the crooks was Elmo Lincoln who later became the first Tarzan.

This is a great movie sinpirte! Jackie Gleason was fantastic in it even though most of the fan fare at the time went to Burt and Sally.
