I stepped back in time to 1920 at the Granada Theater in East Bakersfield Saturday afternoon. It was an awesome trip. As I munched popcorn, I watched Buster Keaton’s “One Week,” a 20-minute Keaton romp, released in 1920. Jim Spohn played his 25-ton Wurlitzer theater pipe organ built in 1928 and it became like the Professor’s “Way Back Machine” from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. There was a full house there to enjoy the 90 minute time warp back to the silent movies. Jim Spohn’s marvelous Wurlitzer filled the theater with a montage of sounds. They ranged from train whistles to “Phantom of the Opera” music. Jim bowed to a thunderous applause as the curtain closed. I hope he can raise funds to bring this theater back to life more often.
