Proprietors : Filmindia Publications Ltd., 104, Apollo Street, Fort, BOMBAY. Editor: B A BUR AO PATEL Uol. 4 MAI] 1938 No I THE BROTHER OVERSEAS "I have gone over the different copies of your paper carefully and I want to congratulate you on its fine quality from every angle. Its appearance is artistic, the type legible, and the make up pleasant to the eye. It is hardly necessary, of course, to comment on the excellence of the material that appears in it. As a matter of fact, I called the attention of a friend of mine to your comments on two of the big pictures that have been produced at studios in India, and he was very much interested," writes Mr. P. S. Harrison about "Filmindia" in his letter of the 14th April to us. Who doesn't know Mr. Pete Harrison? As the most eminent critic in America he is held in reverence by the producers and the cine goers in general. His marvellous paper "Harrison's Reports" claims the unique distinction of being free from the influence of film advertising. This exceptional attribute of the paper commands great respect from all journalists, and therefore, the comments and criticisms of Mr. Harrison carry great weight and influence all over America. We are immensely thankful to Mr. Harrison for granting us his kind permission to reproduce in "filmindia" from month to month important excerpts from his reports, and we are sure that our readers will join with us in congratulating Mr. Harrison on the excellence of his criticism and the overwhelming authority behind it.
