Dorothy's Dream

34Leave it.

Fine for a child, and too thin to build a night on: costumes in a dream.

The review

Dorothy sleeps, and toys and story figures come into the dream. G. A. Smith, a British short from 1903. A child can watch it. I could too, mostly because nothing goes wrong and it doesn't last.

The dream is the excuse for the costumes. I kept waiting for a tale and got a parade of dress-up. Sweet enough when I had no energy for a plot. I wouldn't tell a friend we followed a story. We watched costumes pass through a child's sleep.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School

46 instead of 34

Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School is still a fantasy film, and it scores 46 instead of 34. What you gain is courage: They stay when the school gets dangerous.

The eight

3
Industry
Costume-making is the labor, and the dream is only the hanger.
5
Household
A child's sleep is the life the short actually uses.
3
Piety
No temptation shows up for a conscience to refuse.
2
Courage
Visiting figures ask her to risk nothing she would miss.
2
Republic
The whole town of it is one girl asleep.
4
Temperance
Costume follows costume, and the dream excuses the pile.
5
Truth
It announces itself as a dream, so the visit isn't a lie.
3
Stewardship
A child keeps a parade of costumes, not a story.

The review

Mark Kimball has already spent what the house had, in secret, on a race he is losing. His wife is already gone in all but the papers. A call says their son is taken. The son is at home. The boy who was taken is Hector, the son of the man who waits on their housekeeper. A fixer is hired. At the end the public is told that Mark is the man who saved the boy, and the votes follow.

The measure is that last thank-you. A child was the price of a story, and the story is what the city believed. Do not admire the nerve.
