THE ADULT AND THE CINEMA them I find myself behaving more or less naturally with some actor or actress, though the ones I meet in my dreams are not as a rule ones I care about when awake. None of my dreams are in the monochrome some authorities say dreams are made of — it's technicolour for me. I cannot give titles of any films I've dreamed about, even though I've sometimes been considerably disconcerted to find I am apparently in a cinema that has a screen at both ends, with two films running simultaneously. It's been so hard, trying to look at both of them at once. 13. Mrs. . . . When I saw Jane Eyre I was taken with the great love of Jane for Rochester — even when he was in a terrible state, her love did not falter. I decided to love my husband like that whatever he did to upset me. I have, and in consequence his love for me has grown, and he has become more faithful to me. Whenever I find myself tired and nervy, and most irritable, I think of Jane, and her love and sweetness and desist. That film helped me more than any sophistry could have done. I saw a film In Which We Serve, I often have dreams in which I am in the icy water clinging with frozen fingers to the side of the upturned boat. In my dream I am never saved, but sink down, gasping to the bottom. Age, 49. English; Housewife. Father a schoolmaster, mother housewife. 14. Miss . . . My answers to your two questions in Picture goer Feb. 3rd are as follows: ( 1 ) I am a very regular film-goer and have been to the cinema at least once a week since I was three weeks old. My average now is twice a week. Fashions influence me more than anything else on the screen. I am quite skilfull with my fingers and make most of my own clothes. With a fashion book one only sees a dress, skirt or coat, but on the screen a star presents a whole ensemble. Therefore a better idea is obtained as to whether the style presented is practicable or suitable only for dressy occasions. It prevents a.faut pas (faux pas) in accessories. One small error in judgement and an outfit is ruined. For example, in Laura a recent film, Gene Tierney wore a striped short coat, tied with a belt at the waist, worn over slacks. 194
