CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA
Girls unsophisticated, much better.
Three Comrades — T suppose these things do happen', but rather unreal story; 'I hate to go away feeling "what a shame" ' — doesn't like films that 'leave you guessing'.
Does not like American films (but most of the ones she mentions are American) .
Notices different kinds of lettering at the beginning of the film. Talks to mother about clothes seen.
This Happy Breed — very true to life — mother and father often talk about the last war and post-war years, she gets same sort of impression. Colouring rather fantastic.

Family. Small house, furniture very modern; one older sister, 'very clever'. Mother used not to like her going to cinema too often, doesn't mind now. Sometimes goes with parents, discussions with mother and sister.
Friends. One particular friend, about same age, not at same school; doesn't see much of girls at school — most time spent with family and friend.
Interests. Likes maths, and science, wants to go to college. Reads a lot — classics, not much fiction, murder stories, but not adventure nor school-girl books — 'They are too fantastic'. Works quite hard at school evidently.
General. Essay misleading; rather intelligent, logical mind; very bad memory as far as films are concerned.
Cinema. Does not go very often — about once a fortnight. Saw one Red Indian film recently, walked out in the middle. She has never been to the same film twice.

End of play better than film — it was peculiar Eliza should suddenly come back to professor after she had been so unhappy there; he did not treat her well — he did the whole thing for his own benefit, should have regarded her more, it would have earned him well in the end.
War films. Story of Dr. Wassell — 'for once you did not feel that Gary Cooper was just Gary Cooper', actors so often are just actors,
