THE ADULT AND THE CINEMA
falling down on the stairs. I saw most vividly Betty Davis his wife sitting in a differant position to what she was in the film watching him and not offering to help the man. It was so real that I was dazzled when I woke up and found myself in my own bedroom. I have had dreams about many others but it would take the rest of my notepaper to write down every part of them.

You asked do films ever influence your life. Well I think that they do especially technicoloured films. I have always wanted to write an article on films and here at last is my chance. I am a great film fan and they certainly influence me.
