CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA
Some, may find that such a film is not to their taste, they want something . . .? but if more honest to goodness films, such as The SullivanSy which was or were supposed to be a true story, were made, I for one — and there must be others who think the same as I do — think that this would be a better world by far. Do you?

I can always tell if I have enjoyed a film because if I have it remains in my memory. It may become a little blurred in parts and other parts may stand out in particular. There are several films that I have enjoyed so much that I would enjoy seeing again, one in particular which I saw several years ago, and was revived recently was Goodbye Mr. Chips from the book by James Hilton. Unfortunately I was unable to see it when it was revived, so my memory of it isn't very fresh.
The period of the story is the time before the last war about 1900, to about 1925 which was several years after the last war. Mr. Chips the hero of the story comes to the large boys public school as a master straight from college and has a difficult time settling down amongst the boys but he eventually succeeds in winning the heart of the school. His greatest friend is the German master, with whom Mr. Chips goes on a holiday to Switzerland. While in Switzerland Ihe rescues a very beautiful woman and marrys her, bringing her back to the school with him as he is now housemaster. The boys are very fond of Mrs. Chips and are very sad when she dies in giving birth to a baby which also dies. Mr. Chips is very sad and devotes himself to the pupils of his school, to one boy in particular whose father was also Chips' pupil. Mr. Chips is now made headmaster and then after some years as head the war breaks out and liis friend the German master gets killed in the army. Several of the boys also get killed and the boy who was his special interest gets killed. By this time Chips is a very old man. What I think was the most dramatic part in the whole film was when Mr. Chips announces to the school the end of the war. The film begins with Mr. Chips as an old man sitting in a chair and then it goes back, at the end of the film we again find Mr. Chips in this chair and then a little boy comes in who is the son of the boy whose father got killed and the grandson of a boy who was Chips pupil. It is then discovered that Chips is dying and he remarks that he had hundreds of sons, they were all his sons although his only child died at birth. Faces of boys through the generations then
