'as '"Krish na" I in Cio pal Krishna a Prabhal Picture
This studio at present seems to be going through rather bad days as there is an unusual crop of accidents taking place in the studio. Mr. Surendra who met with an accident recently is still in the hospital and is not likely to come out for some time. With rumours and whimpers about, the atmosphere of the studio has become rather tense for the nerves for proprietor Chimanbhai who has not been keeping well for some time. It is unfortunate that thii good man should get in return so indifferent co-operation from his staff after all the good treatment that he has been giving to them for years.
3omhay Talkies:
"Jeevan Prabhat" which has proved an immense draw is still running at the Minerva Talkies in Bombay. This picture of Bombay Talkies is likely to attract popular attention all over India owing to the heavy element of entertainment in it. At the studios, just at present, things are at a stand still, as the foreign technicians have gone on a well earned leave to the Continent and are likely to return some time in the month of February, when the new 1938 programme of productions will go into shooting. Needless to mention that dear old Devika is also resting.

"Lutaru Lalna" and "Rangilla Mazdoor" are fast nearing com
38
pletion. The first picture features the popular Nadia. "Toofani Tarzan" which ran well in Bombay is reported to have been well received all over.
Minerva Movietone:
"Meetha Zahar" (Sweet Poison), is now in the editing room and Mr. Sorab Modi is thinking of producing another social picture featuring Nasseem and Jagirdar and I wonder whether they are going to put any 'poison' in it also.
Saroj Movietone:
Two Directors Mr. Chowdhary and Mr. Saki are busy with two pictures under the personal supervision of proprietor Nanubhai Desai. There is also a whisper in the studio that Zia. that frontier director is likely to start a new picture. 1938 promises to be a hopeful year for old Nanubhai.
Prakash Pictures:
"His Highness" in spite of some heavy publicity was not patronised by the higher classes and looking at the quality of the picture, the producers seem to have gone some steps backward. At the studio a new picture is being shot with the usual staff and with the name of "Stage Express".
Paramount Pictures:
"Golden Gang", a thriller will be completed by the time this is in print. Director Kanjibhai is shooting "Allauddin" while Director Essa has begun a new
VOL. 3 No. 9
picture called "Hooded Terror". In the midst of these productions, proprietor Kikubhai Desai is preparing for "Aflatoon Aurat" probably by going in search of one.
General Films:
"Chandrarao More", their maiden production in Marathi was released at the Roval Opera House on the 3th to a very appreciative house. At the studio Director Atorthy is still with the early scenes of his "Uneducated Fool". Director Kardar who was specially brought from Calcutta to take up some big production in hand is still in the preliminary stage with his picture "Bagban" or "The Gardener". We shall tell you when he starts shooting actually. But in the meanwhile. Bimla Kumari and some other girls are already in Bombay for the picture.
