February lH'i FILM INDIA This seems to be an interesting situation from "E/c Raat' Picture. a Shalimar To my surprise and disgust, a smile from a young beautiful lad.V, standing aside a few yards away, inspired the man to move on with greater velocity and this, in turn, accelerated my speed with a jerk to the utter annoyance of the person in front of me and the rest of the people ahead. Every time this happened, I was rebuffed by the man in front and at one moment I was in fcr trouble vihen he turned back and realised that I was helplessly driven at the point of someone's belly. Now, though this person could not reduce the boundaries of his expanded belly for my sake, he could certainly have controlled its movements in such a way that it cou'd have remained detached from my body. But the person in question was too indifferent or ignorant to think of other people's convenience. These two instances show how our selfish and unbecoming behaviour may be a source of trouble fcr others while we are still outside the entertainment hall. Now let us go into the hall and see what havoc our bad manners play to those who by misfortune fall a victim to them. THE PIPING PROGENY It has been often noticed that some parents bring their children along with them when they visit a theatre. These pecp'.e love their children so much that they cannot allow them to be out of their sight even for a couple of hours. While the cinema industry can feel proud of these young and tender patrons who are sure to become fully cinema minded when they grow up, it is to be admitted that, mere often than not. their presence proves a nuisance to others. How often it has been noticed that when you are lost in the midst of an absorbing scene or some siren of the silver screen is ac the height of her melody soothing your aching heart, suddenly a child £r. m some corner of the hall goes out of tune and begins to cry at the top t f hif voice for reasons best known to him. you are disturbed, annoyed and even agitated. Your patience is taxed to the extreme and you are at your wit's end to know what to do. You find it difficult to decide as to which tune to listen to. And by the time the child is brought under control, the particular scene is gone or the song is over and you, the poor helpless victim cf another's bad manners, are left alone to curse your fate. By all means, love your children and even adore them. But for heaven's sake do not bring them to the theatre. Their presence may be an immense source of joy to you but others have no reason to take the same kind Of interest in them. They have paid good money to see the Prakash and Neena have a tens-s moment in "Ek Raat ", a Shalimar picture. 77
