READING 5
Aunt Jane

Aunt Jane is now well over seventy, but she is still a great cinema-goer. The cinema in our
town closed down years ago and sometimes she has to travel twenty miles or more to see a
good film. And once a month at least she goes up to London to see the latest foreign films.
Of course she could see most of these on TV, but the idea doesn’t attract her.” It isn’t the
same,” she says. ”For one thing, the screen’s too small. Besides, I like going to the cinema!”
One thing has always puzzled us. Although Aunt Jane has lots of friends and enjoys
company, she always goes to the cinema alone. We discovered the reason for this only
recently – from mother. “It may surprise you to learn that Aunt Jane wanted to be an
actress when she was young,” she told us. “She used to wait outside film studios all day, just
to appear in crowd scenes. Your aunt has probably appeared in dozens of films – as a face in
the crowd at a railway station or in the street! Sometimes she did not even know the name
of the film they were making, so she couldn’t go to see herself at the cinema!
“All the time, of course, she was looking for a small part in a film. Her big chance came
when they started to make a film in our town. Jane managed to meet the director at a party,
and he offered her a role as a shopkeeper. It really was a very small part- she only had a
few lines to say – but it was an important moment for her. Before the great event, she
rehearsed for days. In fact, she turned the sitting room into a shop! We all had to help,
going in and out of the shop until she was word perfect. And on the actual day she was
marvellous. The director congratulated her. Jane thought that this was the beginning of her
film career!
“Unfortunately, in the end, they did not include the shop scene in the film. But no one told
Jane! When the film first appeared in London, she took all her friends to see it. And of course
she wasn’t in it! It was a terrible blow! She stopped going to film studios and gave up the idea
of becoming an actress. She still loves the cinema, as you all know, but from that very day she
has always gone by herself! “
