man". That "Raman" in the story has of course nothing to do with the "Raman" in the producer. But to beat C. V. Raman, Mr. Valliappa Chettiar of Rajagopal Talkies is going to give us "Naveena T. Raman". Does it mean that C. V. Raman's stuff was secondhand? Another Chettiar might produce still another "Tennali Raman" fiesh from the tins — ■ even newer than the new one that is coming. What the South now wants is some new Chettiars and not "Tenali Ramans". * * *

Rajalaxmi is associating herself with Rajagopal in her picture "Madurai Veeran". But don't be too sure. By the time they all come down to Bombay, Rajagopal may think otherwise.
