"Prem-ki-Jyot" strikes one as .a very sensible picture produced with an eye on giving some instruction to our people while providing them with entertainment. It is a story of two friends, bent on extreme sacrifice for friendship. That incidentally "Billy" and "Ruby" (as Billimoria and Sulochana, are known to friends) also happen to be just as faithful friends in life is a mere coincidence.
Sulochana sings, dances, speaks her dialogues almost perfectly, acts superbly and above all looks beautiful in a story that is gripping and interesting. That is one reason why one should see this picture. The second is "Billy" himself. He sings too, and marvellously well and works — well just see and tell us whether Sulochana could get a better hero.
A TOMMY AFTER ALL!
A. E. W. Mason, the man who wrote "The Drum" is on tour. But there is no reason why he should try to make his tour interesting by giving press interviews which expose a little more of his "within". Enough harm has been done to us by writing a book like "The Drum". Why add insult to it by trying to justify a bad job?
Aboard the s.s. "Strathallan", an anglo-Indian press reporter found "Mason to be the essence of good nature" (indeed, it must have been an essence of ginger).
Talking about the film of his story "The Drum" and the hostile criticism and agitation led by "filmindia" in India, he remarked: "I think the critics here were just bent on making a fuss, and so they

It will be well for the Secretary of State India to issue a general warning to such pro;! ganda writers to keep a better control on tongue. If they can't speak anything friendly, them at least not speak something hostile.
