Delegation from motion picture industry of India is given elaborate Hollywood welcome To help further the progress of motion pictures in India, a delegation representing all branches of the industry recently arrived in Hollywood to study American methods of production. Hie Motion Picture Association acted as host conducting thorough tours of all the studios, business offices, theatres, and showing all else that had to do with the making and showing of American-made movies. No questions were left unanswered. The stars of India, of course, were the most interesting part of the delegation. Surprisingly enough, most of them spoke English. In India, the motion picture industry is making rapid strides, the output of pictures increasing unbelievably. They have had enormous help from the British studios, but felt a visit to Hollywood, capital of the film world, was essential to perfecting their own films. Dubbed-in American movies have long been popular in India. "The River," filmed entirely in India, in English, was one of our best received foreign-made pictures of 1952. The interchange of ideas will increase. Surya Kumari and Greer Garson compare notes. Censorship in Indian films, although rigid, is quite contrary to our own. Kathryn Grayson is delighted to meet Surya, who, in her native land, is billed in films as the Kathryn Grayson of India. 45
