diately after, bringing another festival in the city.
The constant trips of the writers of "Omar Khayyam" to Poona and their long discussions with Shantaram suggest a final polishing up of the story.
The man very busy on this picture at present is Syed Fatehlal the famous art-director of Prabhat whose thousand and one sketches are a marvel to see.

WADIA MOVIETONE
Jamshed Wadia, Madhu Bose and even Sadhona Bose and Surendra Desai have been busy concentrating on "Raj Nartaki" the three-language picture of this studio, which is
expected to be released in Bombay during the X'mas Holidays.
Sadhona, the heroine of the story is reputed to have given a beautiful Radha-Krishna dance, one which tcok the studio fifteen days to shoot.
It is a Manipuri version of the famous mythical love-dance and Madhav Menon, Sadhona's partner, is reputed to have taken days to come back to this sordid world of ours — so much was he lost in the supreme ecstasy of the rhythm.
A girl who will shoot up to stardom in this picture is a new comer called Protima Das Gupta, who costars with Sadhona in this great picture. She is reported to have eyes that magnetize and grace to rival the hitherto unrivalled grace of Sadhona. But Sadhona. polished and artistic to the finger nail, is a terrific competition to any new comer and every one feels like wishing young Protima every success.
PRAKASH PICTURES

Prithviraj and Sadhona Bose create an emotional drama in "Raj Nartaki'
