Is it true that Mr. Krishna Rao, the Music Director, has left Prabhat? May I know where he is gone?

U. G. Desai (Kolhar)
Why are you giving so much liberty to Mr. K. Ahmed Abbas who is always criticising your "filmindia"?
Though Abbas has full liberty, he never takes advantage of it. If Abbas criticises "filmindia" it is for the good of a paper which he has in a large way helped to build. To me Abbas has always been a younger brother and though we often quarrel, no third person has a right to interfere. We know each ether better. Your advice, therefore, is not needed.

case of Naseem. She should be as beautiful as she looks. But why not enjoy the fragrance of her work in her next "Ujala", a Taj Mahal picture.
Satya Paul Mehta (Lahore)
If I come to Bombay, will you show me round the studios?
No. My work is to write "filmindia" and not to chaperon youngsters round the studios. I have no time.

Do you think that the entry of educated boys and girls into our film industry has raised the status of the industry?
Yes, the boys, generally well-behaved university graduates in pursuit of an ideal, have certainly helped to give a better complexion to our film industry. But I can't honestly say the same thing about our educated society girls who have joined the screen. Barring a few exceptions, almost evety so-called educated society girl has proved herself worse than a professional prostitute. While talking tall all the time many of them have used their very social status and education to invent new methods of sex approach and have victiraised many a young man by robbijig him of money and ruining his health and ca.eer. From clever producers to struggling unwary journalists, everyone has been a victim of these social spongers some time or other.
With Madhuri, Rama Shukal teams for the first time in "The Guest", a Ranjit picture.
