September 1940 FILMINDIA It is too late to ask why. come in his place. Other heroes have N. V. R. Sastry (Repalle) Who is the best film journalist in India? Baburao Patel. If you are disappointed, don't tell me. Keep it a secret. It is something, I, too, don't believe. Akbar Ali Khan (Amritsar) The actress whose photo yon have enclosed with a request for her name and address, is Miss Yasmin (Betty Gvmes in private life) and stay? a' Rail View, Vincent Road, Dadar. Bombay. She is a great girl to know and remarkably intelligent. P. C. Mathur (Barreily) Please let me know the names of Mathur actors and actresses? I know one in Motilal. Isn't he enough? Why do you want more? They seem to be a boisterous clan. M. S. Vedantham (Madras) Almost all the fans of Madras say that the recent ; pictures of New Theatres like "Kapal Kundla", "Jawani ki-Reet" and "Zindagi" ("Andhi" is not released here) I are far below their old standard. It is a pity that a studio I which once produced very good pictures should so . miserably fail in recent productions. Who, do you think, is responsible? Fans in Madras are right. They pay for the pictures and they have a right to expect better value for their money. But when I say that the N. T. standard has come down, .the .producers' minions get wild, though I tell the truth. I blame only one man, Mr. B. N. Sircar. If he makes up his mind to give us better pictures, he can in future as well as he did in the past. Are they in love? Bhanumati and Hanmanthrao in "Dharma Patni." Charan Singh (Sargodha) Which is the best managed cinema in Bombay? The Roxy Talkies, where "Bandhan" is drawing huge crowds at present. Mr. Kevalchand Mehta who owns this beautiful theatre, manages it himself. That is how it should be. He is not a contractor taking up stables and turning them intv theatres with paint and machinery on credit. V. Bhadrirajan (Masulipatam) It is the huge sale of your "filmindia" in the South that has been entirely responsible for the popularity and success of Hindusthani pictures in South India. Schools, colleges, clubs, libraries and even in haircutting saloons, we find "filmindia" in the South. I am sure that the paper is equally popular in other pro In "Raj Nartaki" the first Indian picture in English, Sadhona Bose makes rhythm a slave of her dainty feet and gives melody a breath of emotion. It is a Wadia enterprise. 15
