AN OFFERING OF TEARS!
There are few occasions in the life of a hard man of the world to shed tears. Qne such occasion was provided to me recently when I saw "Zamana", a picture produced by Krishin Movietone.
This unusual story carries a great compliment for its writer Mr. K. S. Daryani, but a greater compliment must be paid to its young director Mr. Ram Daryani, who has given life to the dormant soul underlying this great theme.
Superbly acted by Padmadevi and Dar as sister and brother in the story and ably supported by Nazir and Gulab as son and mother, this picture is a heart rending satire on the evils of the dowry system in the Hindu family.
Within rect<nt memory I hardly remember a picture so pathetic as to change the taste in one's mouth. If pathos can ever please then it ought to in this great picture, which will go down into history as a great production.
THE HOME OF ART AND INDUSTRY
Eight years back when Mr. R. G-. Torney, popularly known as Dada Torney to one and all, started this company in association with Mr. Baburao Pai
and Darabshaw Colah, no one could have foretold that it would to-day become one of the leading producing companies in India, giving to the country excellent pictures like "Shyam Sunder", "Savitri", "Bhakta Prahlad" and the recently released "Raja Gopichand".

Apart from this company becoming a first class iroduction concern, it has also become a nursery of irt, from which that record breaking picture "Shyam •under", came out to introduce for the first time the olden voiced boy Shahu Modak to his millions of ins who were charmed with his lilting lyrics, and he success of which picture gave the company a wonderful backing up, due to which they are to-day 1 the forefront of artistic producers.
The personal popularity of Dada Torney has atracted other free lance producers to produce their Ictures at the well equipped Saraswati studios. Huns, [inerva, Nataraj and Jayshree produced their first
talking pictures at the Saraswati studios, and made them eminently successful.
The human element in every business contributes a lot to the success of the concern and we think that the utter amiability of Dada Torney is responsible lor the present eminence of the Saraswati Cinetone.
They are now producing a sensational social picture, depicting a realistic theme from our lives "It's
True". The picture is being directed by M r . Chowdhary, whose past experience qualifies him to give to all an excellent production.

In the cast some prominent names like Rose, Motilal and Usha certainly command respect.
