simply notorious and most disgraceful. You could hear them shouting, whistling and screaming. You knew before hand what dialogue or song would follow, and, I am sorry to sav, that was nnt all.
"They were not satisfied with all this tomfoolery and they went a little further by trying the old college stunt of stamping. And the last straw, that usually breaks the camel's back, was to throw money on the stage when the idiots ap
preciated a song. An average ma could not bear all this and I was simply shocked and bewildered and had a feeling of nausea. What was the management doing? If such a thing can happen in a quiet and calm place like Poona I cannot imagine what it must be in places like Bombay, Delhi, Calcutta etc. When do you think dear editor, the patrons will behave like 'gentlemen'?"

ASK THE CENSORS !
"It is not understood as to when our popular Government would get real sense and save the mass e from complete demoralisation. Why is not the present Board of Censors completely overhauled and really competent and educated men brought in? One more proof of the ability of our Censors is given when they allowed the exhibition of the film "Jugnu" with a vulgar song sung by a fe-| ma'e college student in a drrma staged in the college. The song runs as follows: —
Loot jawani phir nahi aani Beet gai to ek kahani, 0 jane wale sajeele hateele, Mose nayna lrrake, mori dhar
kan badha ke, Kalian jai kyon manko dukhaye
Dekh chitki he chandni rate! suhani.
Rate suhani meri bharpur jawani
Me kahun ye diwani he diwani,
Loot jawani phir nahi aani. Phir kale kale badal aye, Mujhse raha na jai, Me jo loo angrai, kisi ka jia
dekh lalchai, Kahun aa bhole bhale pyas
bujhalc,
Ye jawani mastani, aao bhole bhale loot jawani. Ye dam bhar ka he mela Kate na pal bhar ham se akela
Koi esa, mile koi vesa mile
Jo dil de or dil le Kahun me loot loot na chor,
Jawani phir nahi aani. "Is this song decent?" NEW DELHI. M. P. Dhatia
