Abdul Premji (Madras)
I have heard that Bhudo Advani has joined the army?
Yes, with Capt. Naval Ghandy the film producer for the military, commanding the National Studios as his parade grounds. Yes, Bhudo is quite proud of his production management for the military films and swanks about as an empire builder.
Why isn't Ashalata seen on the screen nowadays?
Her hands are full playing the wife to Music Director Anil Biswas. And it is a real role.
Miss Sheela (Secunderabad)
I am a girl of 12 years with a tall figure (5' 4"), so please do me the favour of recommending me to some film company.
Let time add another dozen years and by the time if you still feel like acting in films get in touch with me. At your present age you should learn and play with your doll.
Krishna Rao Kisri (Cocanada)
I love a Christian girl in my college, though I am a Hindu. The girl also looks up to me. But my parents being highly conservative kick up a row.
Go ahead and marry the girl. Pandit Jawaharlal's daughter Indira recently married Feroze Gandhi, a Parsi, and no less a person than Mahatma Gandhi has blessed the union. What greater encow agement do you require? In your place and with such an encouragement I would marry all the Christian girls in your college.
Y. K. Rao (Jubbulpore)
I find that though many of the actresses belong to good families people do not have a good opinion about them. How is that?
Because the "people" themselves belong to bad
families and are incapable of thinking rightly
about other people.
Bankey Behari Verma (Sundergarh)
Is it true that Shanta Apte is coming again to the screen?
She is on the screen already in "Apna Ghar" and watch how she makes a home in your heart.
Shall I get a photograph of Romola if I write to Pancholi Art Productions?
No! you will not. But try Talwar Productions, Tollygunj, Calcutta.
^^OUR memories of places and people will fade almost as quickly as the years of childhood pass. Eut with a Kodak camera ycu can keep the best moments of life always clear — in pictures that will have even more interest as you grow older.
The war has mad* lupplies run ihort, but noit Kodak Dealers still have a rang* of Kodak-made cameras to oifer.
