CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA acting was very natural and really like ordinary family life. There were sad as well as humourous parts in it. The bit where George V died was very well acted. The film shown with it was one of these terrible cowboy films which are so popular nowadays. It was so utterly boring that I nearly went to sleep in the middle of it. You would see a cowboy say to another, 'We must catch Black Joe', and then they would go off on horses and you see them galloping round and round for about five minutes. After this there would be another short interlude, when two or three people were shot, and then off they would go again. It does seem a shame that they have to put such rotten films on with such good ones.
I think it was worth the money to see This Happy Breed, for it really was a very good film.
8. E.K. Little Lord Fauntleroy
I saw the film at a very third rate cinema, where arrangements were very bad, but still I liked it. The story is natural and the characters were, on the whole well played. You could sympathise with Ceddie, when he had to part from his mother, and feel with the Earl his pride in Ceddie. And the finale, with Mr. Hobbs in England, changing all his ideas about English aristocracy is really amusing. I prefered the book, of course, because there I could imagine my characters, and could imagine the atmosphere which somehow a film cannot get.
In general I detest films. I only go to see things like Bambi, and Snow White, Fantasia, Pinocchio and that class of films, and then I liked The Scarlet Pimpernel. Otherwise, apart from those, films bore me, and seem unreal, and glamorous in an unpleasant way.
If film companies would put on things like ballets, in colour, or more instructive films altogether then I would go more frequently, but as things are now — it is the theatre and concerts for me.
9. E.B. Films
Most of the films now-a-days are trash, except for a few English films.
American films are to over done, and their coloured films are far too flashy.
Sweet Rosie 0 'Grady has hardly any story to it. It was based on the same lines as all the other films are made, only the stars where dressed up in nineteen century clothes. The same with Once Upon a Time, only this was more ridiculous than ever. This film was about a Dancing Caterpiller.
