Maya Bannerji in "Preetam", a social picture of Jayant Films distributed by Select Serial Supply.
Tirath Ram Chadha (Rawalpindi)
"Filmindia" is being sold here for a rupee a copy? Is it right?
It is absolutely wrong. Get me the proof and 1 shall discontinue to send copies to the agent.

What is the fate of an artiste after he or she retires from the screen?
Once a film man always a film man. . Producers .when they fail become doov keepers in theatres, if necessary, but remain in the industry. Artistes when they retire either become producers if they can induce someone to invest or become motor drivers. The girls are lost in the slums. This is the general rule. Exceptions are, of course, there.
Miss Tara (Chikmagalur)
What was your profession before editing '•filmindia"?
j have been in the film business pretty long. Before that I was a pharmaceutical chemTsi. Nothing wrong, I suppose!
G. Kishin (Hyderabad Sind)
Though Surendra fails to satisfy me in that rotten picture ' Garib", yet don't you agree with me that an educated actor like him with a pleasant personality
and a sweet vcice should be encouraged? One worthless director after another has made this artiste look poorer and poorer every day by casting him in bad pictures.
It is Surendra's misfortune. I agree with you that he deserves better success, but how can he expect it unless he steps out of thc present rut and takes up work under some clever director. He will, ofcourse, have to make sacrifices.
A. S. Sangha (Jhudo)
New that Shantaram has left Prabhat, will he start his own concern? And if so, when and where?
J really do not know Shantaram's plans nowadays. I knew everything about him when he was slaving as an artist and struggling for a name and money in addition. But now he doesn't talk to me as frankly as he used to. People with money become cautious and secretive and Shantaram is no exception. Somehow, I am used to associate poverty with art and it will take me some time to get used to Shantaram's big money seeing that I have always looked upon him as an artist and therefore a friend. I make a bad friend to the rich but I don't wish Shantaram to be poor because of that. I only wish he wouldn't be so money conscious. Money is one argument, I can't win with people. I am so dreadfully poor.
How is that you never criticise the pictures of Minerva Movietone? Are you afraid of Sohrab Mody?
Yes. Afraid that he would not be able to survive through my criticism. And I want a good modest man like Sohrab to live.
Leela Chitnis seems to be thinking in "Between You And Me", a Chitra picture.
