FilmIndia (1939)

*ruary 1939 mpulsory to install them), a batch of sweepers list sweep the floors, clean the seats and wash off in' and spittle. It must be made compulsory for the cinema ;ner to maintain a menial staff of at least 12 perns to give the auditorium a quick cleaning rub thin half-an-hour. These men are more important the public than the well fed managers and the .lf-sleepy door keepers we see at our theatres. Air purifiers, at least four for a theatre with ited and certified capacity of purification, should made as compulsory as the fire-extinguishers. Complete compulsory disinfection about 3 times jtweek should be insisted upon, preferably under the tfidance and supervision of the municipal authorit s. I These are some of the things which our Minister ur Health should start doing first. We do not want lerely a minister for health. We want Health. Kherwise we get the other one who ministers at lath. fcrcw AIR PURIFIERS That brings to mind a new invention which gave d a bit of a pleasant surprise the other day. We refer U "Lumitra" Ozone generators. It is an attractive fdget which gives a violet glow of light when workk|g and while doing so spreads ozone in the room to rrify. In science, Ozone is known as a more active flite of oxygen which destroys bacilli. Ozone which ■Inature's medium for purifying, deodorizing and reUtivating the air is formed by the passing of rays « the sun through the atmosphere. These "Lumitra" Ozone generators seemed to do Itjs job of purifying the air rather well and a bit mickly. We tried a generator at the office and :tpught it a marvellous improvement over the exist•ig purifiers. If these "Lumitra" people only had a bigger tfeatre model, then the problem of purifying the air I our theatres would soon be solved! Beg your pardon, they have. These fellows must , we us a free demonstration at one of our theatres. (SECRETARY FOR THE CENSOR BOARD, PLEASE! The Bombay Board of Film Censors needs a litt re-organizing if the department is ever to be real I I useful to our film industry in addition to merely • anting a paper certificate for films. I The British Board of Film Censors is a very useif. institution. It is organized suitably to meet all jt; demands of the film industry and the film critics. Illmaintains complete statistics of the industry, peruw scenarios, passes posters and publicity and all Us in addition to censoring features, educational and d;umentary films. The British Board is a well organed institution. I We can't say that of the Bombay Board of Film fchsors. The Bombay Board has hardly got a secrecy of its own.
