THE ADULT AND THE CINEMA I have given you again my dreams and the films about which I
dream to the best of my ability.
I might add, by the way — that most of my dreams are recorded
in black and white — although the ballet scenes as far as I can
remember were in, shall we say, technicolour.
Age, Twenty. Not married.
41. Mr. . . .
Question 1. I believe the moulding of my career has been affected by films I have seen, not inconsiderably. Having always been imbued with the desire to learn and study continuously, several films have given me added encouragement, those springing to mind readily being Repent at Leisure, Young Tom Edison, First of the Few, Television Spy, Invisible Man Returns, Pygmalion, Down Went McGinty, The Doctor Takes a Wife, Disputed Passage, and most important, Madam Curie of more recent date. I have yet to see the importance of the cinema as an educator, expressed in print. By that I mean 'ordinary' films. I regard films as part of my education and choose films accordingly.
Question 2. Yes, twice. A 'ghost' film seen when young terrified me in dreamland for many nights following, and Madam Curie has turned up several times recently to inspire me! I am a male English student of aeronautics, my father being in the building industry. Age 22.
42. Miss . . .
In answering the two questions in your Feb. 3rd Issue of Picturegoer, I find the answer to question No. 1 . is yes in one instance only, that I was copying the hair-style of Ginger Rogers in Lady in the Dark with the long pageboy bob and sides sweeping up.
And to question no. 2 — Yes I have dreamed of Pictures I have seen. For instance, The Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Four Feathers and The Man in the Iron Mask.
I am a sixteen year old British girl, a Chemist's Assistant, and my father is a Police Officer.
43. Miss . . .
As a keen film fan for many years two films have had an influence on my character and life, one being Going My Way and the other Madam Curie. Both these films are sincere and as far as I know true to life. In my opinion the Theatre and Cinema can do a lot to educate and uplift the minds of the Public at the same time giving the Public what it wonts (wants) : Entertainment.
