November 193S
of Ruby Pictures. The maiden picture called "Prem-ki-Jyot" is almost ready now.
From: Madan Mohan (Karachi).
Can you not suggest to Bombay Ta'.kies Ltd., to change their "hero".. Motilal who is a free lancer now cam easily fill in the vacancy and I think their pictures will draw more.
I also think the same, but the bosses at the Bombay Talkies should also think the same to permit Motilal to star with Devika. Bombay Talkies believe in being original in everything — even in 'thinking'.
From: K. V. Singh (Jaipur).
Where is Aruna Devi of "Deccan Qusen" fame?
She has disappeared into the land of matrimony. Wise girl!
From: C. L. Victor Lazarus (Bangalore).
I wish to invite Sabita Devi to my marriage to dance and sing for two hours. Will she take the offer?
No, a hundred times no! Sabita Devi is a film artiste and not a professional dancer. By the way, why do you want a dance at the wedding when you might get enough after it.
From: R. S. Mudaliar (Madura).
Is Padmadevi, the Colour Queen, an educated girl? What are her qualifications'?
Qualifications and testimonials are things for men in commerce. Almost every woman, barring
a small number, is a clever one. Padmadevi reads and talks in six languages. English, Urdu, Hindi, Gujrathi. Marathi and Bengali. A woman who can do t;hat must be considered educated.
From: K. Anantaswamy (Mysore).
Is there any relations existing between Pramilla and Ambalal J. Patel (Central Camera Cd.)?
Yes! He is the photographer and she is the model, if that means anything to you.
From: G. V. Pantulu (Vizagapatam).
What is the best method of approaching film
actresses?
That all depends on your intentions and the type of girls you wish to meet. If your intentions are good and the girl is reputed to be gentle, then write a letter and pay a visit to the studio where the actress works. But there are actresses who make street girls blush with their cheek and behaviour. You may better avoid such a type as this type is always anxious to use the name of a good man to float one's own.
From: Narendra J. Singh (Bijnor).
I am a beautiful man and I want to join the film line.
"Beautiful" men are rare. I advise you to join the "Beauty Contests" and leave the film line alone.
