THE ADULT AND THE CINEMA
George Sanders play in Casablanca which I thought a wonderful picture and The Moon and Sixpence.
In real life though people are so different, the film stars themselves when they are themselves minus, script grease-paint and elaborate costume are the same the whole world over, as other people, tempers, emotions, thoughts so that when we admire them we are really admiring the part they are playing in the film, and this I always bear in mind, before I am led astray.
Love can be influenced by films, so in some cases divorce may be too, but I am afraid I can't write about that, as I am not married yet, to go further not even in love yet.

Also it must be pleasing for a husband to come home from work, to a neat and pretty wife, owing to many labour saving devices, than a wife who is tired out and looks it too.
