tie more perseverance will easily wrest the local supremacy from New Theatres. We wish them all luck and in the meanwhile Bombay awaits "Hindusthan Hamara" with pleasure.
WADIA MOVIETONE
Wadia Movietone is a very busy studio these days and few producers can stand up to the strain of several complicated production problems that face J.B.H. Wadia from day to day. But the man's utter politeness and good breeding see him through several embarrassing moments.
' I have never met a greater gentleman'' said Kishore Sahu of J. B. H. Wadia when I asked him how he was treated during the shooting of "Eahurani." It is ••are for one producer t o say

good things about another, but Kishore Sahu who is still not a producer in the hackneyed sense of the word, doesn't mind telling the truth. And to be called a gentleman is the utmost a producer can expect. We have so few of them.
"Vijay Kumar" was well received at the Lamington Talkies in

Ask me another. A picture in Bengali. Hindi and English and a costume picture at that must be a

PRAKASH PICTURES
Is Mughni the new publicity man going round? Ask the journalists in the town. It is difficult to miss him. At every street corner you turn, he is there trying to tell you how great his picture "Narsi Bhagat" is going to be with Vishnupant Pagnis and Durga Khote in the lead.
But it will be on the screen in the last week of August a n d we'll all know whether Mughni has been right.
"Mala" is another picture with a social theme that is on the sets and Mugnni says: "It won't beat "Narsi Bhagat" but it won't score less." Ah! This guy Mughni! Sohrab Mody has lost a good and loyal publicity man.
